Name that leak...(please)

Saw this puddle under/behind the right rear tire yesterday. It's clear with a reddish hue. The leak emanates from one of the 3 lines that appear to connect to the rear A/C-Heater. What is it? What do I do about it? And how "critical" is it (i.e. on the list of upgrades I want/need to do, how much a priority should I give this leak)? Thanks.

First pic: showing the puddle.


Pic showing the leak. Note the leak appears to come from the bottom (forward-most) line. You can see the drip at the zip tie on the left.

That looks like a coolant leak. Might just need to tighten a clamp.

Any smell to the fluid? Any dampness on the carpet inside? could have a leak of condensation from rear heater/ac? I had my problem while running AC unit. however, some condensers work even with heater, though not sure about Ex.
It's been a couple of years, but I removed the inside panel when my carpet began to feel damp and discovered that the cork/tar tape was allowing the condensing hose to leak into the compartement. re-sealed the condensing fitting and it began draining correctly again -- my drain hose drips near the exhaust. hope this helps.

No smell. Didn't notice dampness inside, but need to check more closely under my WeatherGuard. Will check clamp tightness. Thanks!

Yep, just a loose clamp or cracked hose more than likely.
