Default fluid on garage floor

what would be leaking from the front end. Looks like its coming from CV boots???? couple drops per day. I know nothing about repairs. If it is something serious would it be under warranty, 2006 31K?

The shocks/struts are notorious for leaking.

My truck only has 4000 miles on it so mine havent started leaking yet. I heard that they would be waranteed, but I also heard that they had so many to replace that they have been on backorder for months now.

Sorry bud. But if you don't know even this level of simple mechanics, please take the truck to the dealers for help/repairs.
Please don't think I'm having a pop at you.
You need a certain level of mechanical experience just to start things off.
Which from your post and you openly admit, you haven't got.
Take care and good luck.
AL.

My 06 just had the struts repaced last month with 20k miles on them.Its a known problem.Crawl under the truck and just look around and see if you can find anything wet.At least that will get you in the general area of the leak.Could be anything from struts to antifreeze to a oil pan gasket,power steering fluid,trans cooler line,brake line etc.If its four wheel drive it could be a front diffrential seal.Theres alot of things under there that can leak. If you cant find it take it to a reputable shop that you trust that wont just B.S. you and take your money replaceing parts that dont need replaceing.

Good luck and i hope its a easy cheap fix.

What color is the fluid? If it's redish it's probably the power steering like dirtydog said....dodge uses tranny fluid in their PS.
