Quick question about a leak?

So i havnt drove my pickup for about a week or so, its been -20 here and i have been driving my car cuz its hard to find a plug in. anyway, when i parked it it had no spots under it and it never had any spots untill yesterday, magically there was a little spot of somethin towards the front of the truck, not where anything would leak from the valley cuz i know where that lands. anyway, was just wondering what it could be, i havnt started it in a week, after 6 days no leak and out of nowhere there a spot of something. what in the world could this be

Put something under the truck, either a container or a piece of corrigated box, just something to contain it so you can smell it, taste it, roll it around between your thumb and forefinger. lol

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist but some of the ideas are good.

i would agree the first step in determining where it came from is to figure out what kind of fluid it is

That is one sweet lookin' truck. I can't quite make out what is on the front, it looks like it is mounted or is it just the photo?
