ID oily orange fluid
SOLVED!
My wife took our 2019 stingray shopping today and after she left I noticed a very small puddle (the size of a quarter) of an orange liquid on the garage floor. It has the consistency of oil and is very clean. It was located beneath the front of the engine.
Any idea what it could be? I though Dexcool but this is too thick I think. I don’t have the car to inspect it right now but no warning lights came on before she left.
Thanks in advance from this first-time ‘vette owner!

The A/C dye is a florescent yellow/green, this post has a picture of it: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1602858421
I was wondering if it might be brake fluid which changes from pale yellow to brown over time and can look orange on some surfaces. But glad you figured it out and its just a clamp... easy fix.
