That's condensation from the AC compressor. That's what Texas heat does lol

My 96 LT1 doesn't leave a puddle like that. Not that far rearward, not that much and not so much centered under the car.
The A/C water condensation my system discharges is much closer to the passenger side front tire.
That's why "I wonder".

Well the car was on a flat surface AND it's much closer to the passenger tire than it looks. What do you think it could be?

I went with the Hooker Super Comps long tube. Tuned to squeeze out every bit of hp/torque from the engine. Nothin but

Gotta go with the tast test before you can say for sure.

Odor and throw a match on the puddle (think safety here) and if it passes those tests, I'd go with water, too.
My concern was that without checking to see what it actually is you could have a fire hazard. Checking out things like this can prevent problem down the road.

If you decide to taste it, you might want to swallow a little and look for signs of kidney damage. Antifreeze can wipe you out pretty quickly. If you get sick enough to land you in the hospital, it's probably antifreeze which means you have a coolant leak. If you're ok after 24 hours, then it probably was condensation from the ac. Good luck, check back with us in a day or two and let us know you're ok. Willie
