My guess is your power steering is leaking. My o3 sat for about 4 months and during a cold spell dumped all the steering fluid on the drive. My nieghbor's 04 did the same thing after sitting for only a month. We both just refilled the reservoir with fluid and it stopped leaking. I priced the repair and was told about $600 to change the rack. I recommend checking the reservoir level and get a oil tray for the driveway Just in case the leak doesn't stop immediately.

Mine was doing the same exact thing. I thought it was the power steering pump. SO I changed it myself, cost like $170 for the pump, pulley, and reservoir. And then it was still leaking. Then I finally noticed my coolant overflow was empty lol. Our year models take the redish/orange MOPAR coolant. It's your water pump, from the cold weather. I changed mine out, and now its back to perfect... no leaky leaky!
