Clear Oil from somewhere???

Just went out and saw a puddle of oil under the front of my truck. Was getting dark and not wanting to pull out lights I just used a little led light I had to look for the source. Looks like it is coming from the fan clutch, the drip is right off the bottom of the fan. Does the clutch have oil in it???

I just can't think of anything that would have clear oil like that.

Any ideas??

Yep -- viscous clutch. Get ready to need a new one soon.
