If the car is parked on a sideways incline, the air conditioning "sweat" will leak out (supposed to) and sit on the driver side by where the gas pedal would be. Happens in my garage all of the time. Particularly annoying since it take 2 or 3 days to dry. I think there is a geyser under my garage. The puddle isn't that big.. lol

I see water in the driveway but it doesn't smell like coolant. It's clear like water. When I add water to the reseviour foam overflows even without the engine running and the engine running 1/4 (like 1 minute) a block to get to my condo's carwash to fill it.. Midas and The Chevy Dealer said they're was no leaks and nothing was wrong. BTW the foam is white and has no particular smell.
Sorry about the crossposting. I thought I was multiposting.
Any chanced that the stuff on the driveway is A/C condensate.
Meanwhile, I agree that it's time to flush the cooling system and replace the coolant (with the correct type.) Then start measuring how much coolant is used to top off this car. I assume some of it is condensate which is locate toward the passenger side front and it's completely clear and odorless, but I sometimes see a small puddle on the ground (not inside the car) on the driver's side just below where the gas pedal is. The liquid is clear, no odor but feels a little slippery and is slightly crystalline when it dries up.
brake fluid perhaps?
One thing for sure I need to change the coolant. The manual say's Dextron
50/50. Is that correct for South Florida? Thanks.
