Default Clear Fluid leak?

Excuse the ignorance of a newbie here folks, but I wonder if anyone can shed any light on my problem?

I have an '05 Durango SLT, 102,000mls. Everything has been fine until I noticed a leak this morning on my driveway. It's a clear, oily-like fluid and from what little I could see, seems to be leaking from near the lower front of the engine casing. As far as I can determine it looks like some seal where the serpentine belt bottom pulley enters the block?
Without any diagrams or knowing too much about the vehicle, I'm guessing here.
Yesterday the car also stalled twice when slowing and turning to the right, plenty of fuel, not on an incline of any note and not an overly hot day.

Anyone any ideas?

only clear fluid i would know of would be brake fluid or water if you are running strait water in the radiator, that would be a bad ideal to do that though.

Transmission fluid is very light pink to blue and could be hard to see an an asphalt driveway (if that is what you have).

I would suggest cleaning the engine removing any sign of leaking fluids. Then check daily till ur able to see where it is coming from.

Could be power steering or clean oil from the front crank bearing seal.
