Prelude leaking fluid....

I parked my car in the space where it is usually parked and there was oil...(not too sure what it was....maybe tranny fluid) where my front of my car sits.

I'm thinking it came from my car, because the other day I was driving and I drove over the gutter tops at the gas station that was not leveled. My car hit it from underneath and made this loud noise... I checked under my car and everything looked okay. The only thing messed up was the tow hook. I am lowered 1.3".

Right now I put cardboard under my car to make sure the fluid did not come from my car.

Did it have a green essence to it? I had the same type of leak I think, but thought nothing of it because it only did it once?

But it was oily and seemed clear until after examining it closer it had somewhat of a green/clear look to it.

I would like to know what this is as well.

My car is leaking oil as well. Can someone tell me what it is? I put a paper towel there and the oil comes out clear and ever so slightly yellow. It's odorless as well. The problem came up after I had my transmission serviced (for $2000 ).

Should I just take it back to the dealership...?

I hit a speed bump about 6 months back and had the tranny leak. It is clear when it is on the ground. Has no smell. It was a pain in the a** to fix, it took a day and cost about $600 because they had to take apart the tranny. Good LUck!

all oil will have some type of slickness to it and a smell. Unless it's coolant, then maybe the smell wont be strong... Sure its not condensation from the AC? When that sits on the ground, esp on black pavement, it can look like oil...

when you touched it and rubbed it between your fingers, did it feel slippery or like water?
