Angry Clear fluid leaking!!!!

Well I pulled into the driveway today and was working in the garage and noticed something leaking from the passenger side of my truck! I go in to pop the hood and noticed allitle bit of fluid on the driver side floor mat also. There is a descent size puddle on the passenger side of the truck and looks like its coming from right under the passenger floorboard. It is clear in color and cant figure out where the hell its leaking from any suggestions????? Thanks.

give it a smell posibly a taste if your feeling confident it isnt harmful
but Im willing to bet this is just some condensation not draining
right from the AC components under the dash. Try running the truck without
AC on if now juice appears then your culprit is AC

If it's clear and oily, it's probably your brake fluid.

If it's clear and not oily, it's a/c condensation or wind shield washer fluid. (a/c won't have a smell)

just to chime in...yep a/c condensation. try to find the drain tube that should be in the engine compartment and either have a tube or a black flat nipple that is soft hanging below the cab roll in the front. haha soft nipple...check by squeezing the tube or nipple and see if any water comes out.
