Car leaking fluid!!
I have a 2002 civic ex and I am noticing that where I park my car in the driveway, I've left a bunch of spots since I bought the car. Anyways, the fluid is clear and no, it's not water.. it has some sort of a salty taste and it leaves stains on the driveway so I know it isn't water.. but what else could it be?? Any help is appreciated!

You could be allergic to it and you could literally die from just a little taste.
Anyway... Try putting a piece of paper down where that spot forms so that you can see what color the fluid really is. I think it's just the A/C (water), but with road salt since you say it's salty. How much of this fluid is there? If it's totally clear, then it's just water.

it could be water!! the salt could just be from your driveway (if you live near the ocean or someplace where the roads get salted)
