Default Maybe a problem, need help

I just walked out from work and seen a puddle under my car. It isn't motor oil I have royal purple and its darker that the fluid leaking. I don't see any leaks from under the car. All the under hood fluids are full, rad, brake and steering are all full as is the motor oil. What color is the trans fluid in these cars? This fluid is clearish like the color of very thin motor oil. Does anyone have any idea of what this is? Please help.

The only fluids that I have ever seen leak from a car are antifreeze (green) and water from the A/C, so it's more than likely just water. Perfectly normal.

Default Practical joke

Well with the title up there I can't make this post have a whole lot of suspense. I am a firefighter and work 24 hour shifts so I spend alot of time with the guys and we goof on each other alot.
I posted earlier about an oil leak that devoloped under my car and I couldn't figure it out. Well I was set up big time.
I came in this morning and got to talking about our 4 days off and I was asked what I did, I was a proud man and told my guys I went to the DRAG STRIP and the chit chat began, V6 this and cool car that for the most part it was fun.
Later my Capt (boss) came in and started talking about my car saying it was nice being as proud as I am I said lets go look at it. When we walk out he notices that I have an OIL leak under my car and was it mine. Na I say shes tight no leaks. We talk and a little more he suggests I move the car and see if the leak comes back. I do and while I move I jump on the forum and ask about my new found leak.
A little while later I go look again and there it is more oil. Capt suggest to me to take it for a ride to see if I got any rattles. He really thinks its my OIL, I explain that it is not my oil I USE ROYAL PURPLE and it is still purple Well I ride guess what I got a rattle. They tied soup cans under my car to rattle, when I pull in to the station they all laugh at me and I got PUNKED they say.
WHAT A GREAT JOB.

I laughed hard when I found out I had no oil leak. That was a good one that they played on me so as long as my car is ok I'll be the but of all jokes.
