97 Ranger leak
Oh no, my 97 ford Ranger is leaking fluid behind the front passenger tire. What could it be? I recently got a new radiator, maybe something didn't get tightened enough? My parking lot is blacktop so I can't tell if the liquid has color. It made a decent puddle. Just started yesterday. Coolant maybe? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Passenger side behind front tire is most likely just water from the Air Conditioning evaporator tray drain, so very normal on vehicles with AC in warmer months
AC system Evaporator is in the Heater box in the engine bay, passenger side
It is cold when AC is on, and like a Cold Glass on a warm day water vapor condenses on it as air pass thru it
This condensation, water, drips off evaporator and onto a tray, the tray has a drain hose that comes out the firewall, then drips onto the ground, on passenger side behind front wheel
The more humid the outside air, the more water will be condensed, so the more it will drip out
