Clear Leaking King ranch

I have an 05 king ranch superduty that just started a leaking from the front passanger side area. the puddle is about the size of a dinner plate the liquid is clear has no smell and a slightly bitter taste to it thinking it could be break fluid but it appears to be coming from the passanger side of the engine not the tire any suggestions on what it could be

The Air Conditioner drains to that side that could be it.

AC sounds most reasonable. Brake fluid has a dark tint to it. Now I don't know why you wouldn't have noticed it before, but the Defroster uses the AC system to dry the air that gets blown on to the glass.

ac condensation is what I would suggest, watch it while running your ac and you should be able to see it drip and humid days, it is normal.
