Fluid leak question

I posted this earlier but think it was lost in the weeds....

Was on vacation recently and when I came back saw a very small (clear) fluid stain under front center on garage floor. Moved it to another spot and same again.

- Its not just water from AC as it doesn't dry out completely.
- Not oily to the touch either
- Put some white paper underneath and it is clear so that eliminates a lot of the fluids.
- Have checked all the usual fluid reservoir levels nonetheless and all is fine.
- Seems to be just a few drips over the day.

I'm stumped - any ideas?

I had something like that once in another vehicle. Turned out to be AC System oil. Needed a new Receiver/Dryer.
Does your AC still work?

Thanks Zulu - never considered that.
A/C is running very cold so far - better drop it off before the whole thing goes belly up.
