Default A/C condenser / Tranny cooler

So, what clearish oil would be leaking from my A/C condenser down by what I guess would be the Evap/dryer ( long cylider thing drivers side) tranny oil would be red and not sure what oil would leak that would be clear especially since it is on the condenser part.
I have a condenser ordered, just wondering what is actually leaking.
Thanks

Your AC system contains an oil which could be leaking from the system. If this is the case the freon will be leaking out also.

Check your AC lines and connections to make sure it is coming from there and not something else. If your truck was recently serviced some type of lube could have been dropped in that area.

If it is an AC leak your system will get less colder as time goes on so a trip to the service department may be in order to have this checked out.

Could it be coming from the cooling coil for power steering?

Don't think so 12sport, totally different cooler location. I'm surprised that there is as much oil in there. I cleaned it off and it appears to be just a weap, but enough that I have ordered a new cooler/condenser already..found one way cheaper than the dealership wants for it. It will need to be changed at some point, I just wish the condenser and tranny cooler were separate.
