Car hasn't moved? If not, open the hood and look to see what's in that area. I think you're right, and that the washer fluid reservoir is there. Then look under the car and see if you can find the source of the leak.

If it was further back under the car I'd say it was just the A/C, but puddle's too far forward for that.

My bet would be on the wash fluid resovoir also. But, if you hit it with a curb . .mustve been a nasty hit. A little *sniff sniff* of the fluid wouldn't hurt.

I ment the fluid...

It is more than likely water from your a/c system or washer fluid from the washer fluid tank.
