My car has been parked for 2 days because of the damn snow in crappy colorado. I moved it and in the front right on the driveway there is a leak spot about 1ft by 1ft. Its a clear kinda oily substance. Anyone have any clue what this could be?

Clear and kinda oily? Brake fluid?
Oil=brown
water=green or pink, depending on type of anti-freeze
trans=red
power steering=brown or red
brake=clear-ish
They all have their own distictive smell too.
Check all your levels.

Could be brake fluid, I wouldn't expect it to be so big though.
What about a leaky shock?

Could also be a brake caliper or brake hose. like c3 said check your fluids or check around that area you should be able to track it down.

Thanks for all the feedback guys! I will get under there and look as soon as the weather warms up a bit. If it ends up being something with the ac then thats fine. I don't use it anyway because of the supercharger.
