Clear fluid leaking from front of car?

I haven't seen it yet but my boyfriend says when I start my car, it leaks "water" near the front of my car.

I'm sure it can be something as simple as windshield wiper fluid, but could it be something more serious?

I'll check it out in the morning though, but I'm a little worried. That car is my baby.

    It might be water vapor coming from the AC. That is normal.

    I am not implying anything here, but was the defroster on? some people don't understand that the compressor runs even when the heater is on if you have it on defroster or defogger. I would also check the brake fluid. make sure your brake reservoir is full. then start the car have someone push hard on the brakes and check the area underneath for leaks. if is brake fluid, have it towed to a shop......

    Coolant has color, so that's not it. The air conditioner gives off water as condensation when a car starts up and while it is running.

    It could be coolant but coolant is kinda green and toxic looking. If its washer fluid dont worry about it.

    maybe it could be some rain water?

    if its water i would not run it until i had it fixed you could over heat it . could cost a lot of money.
