Fluid Leak from Engine

I noticed I had a fluid leak a few days ago. I noticed that when I would return home the spot on the driveway was gone. I assumed it was condensation from running the AC.

Well again I have noticed the leak every morning. I finally checked it out today and it smelled like distilled water. It's clear and not oily and doesn't smell like the engine coolant.

Any ideas as to what it could be? I took my high powered flash light under the car and couldn't source where it was coming from.

My car is a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

It still could be distilled water made from the air conditioner removing humidity from the vehicle, found under passenger front firewall area. On my 2001 Dakota and prob other Chrysler vehicles, the stupid drain hose gets clogged and stores the water up into the hose, in the air-box and/or under your front carpet and lets the water out slowly. They made a new hose to resolve the issue, or you could research on how to unclog yours. The definite highly unsafe and not recommended way to tell the difference from engine coolant is to lick it if it's sweet it's antifreeze.(I turned out fine:drool:)
