leaking clear fluid ?

hello all - i just went over a really bad bumper and now something is leaking from the bottom of my car. i gathered some of it, and it is clear and apparently odorless. i took a glance under the car and it looks like the fluid is coming from some sort of tube pointing down towards the road. any ideas what this might be and how i should go about fixing it ?

thanks !

to start off, what year is your car and the mileage.

did you have either you AC or defroster running recently? it could be just water from that.

It is normal. Nothing to worry about, just water coming from drain line, from air conditioning usage.

Condensation from your air conditioning.

The easy test would be to drive without your AC / defroster on your next trip and make sure it still isn't leaking. Or taste it.

lol if you've never seen water before that means the hole was clogged and the bump got the bit loosened and now the water flows. Which btw is a good thing.

The only other thing that is colorless and somewhat odorless, but doesnt really evaporate is brake fluid. Check your brake fluid level.
