If you really want to get a good taste, collect it in a glass and then drink it 
If it doesn't taste good, add Kool-Aid and sugar.
Seriously though, does your radiator have coolant in it, or straight water? That's good to know.

I remember last time my sister car over for an oil change I got all worked up because I saw 'water' leaking from some spot.
Later I realized that she'd just ran the winsheild washer fluid, and it was running down the gutters.
It could be that, it could be condensation from the A/C .... I really hope you don't just have just water in your coolant system, lol.....
but before you get all bent out of shape
leave your car out on a level surface and put a peice of cardboard under your engine bay. Hours later, if the spot has showed up, pay attention to where it came from. If you can determine the source, it's a LOT easier to figure out what it is that's leaking.

Mmmmm...rodent sperm...
Seriously though, I put money on AC condensation, since the drain is in that location.

thanks
yeah I use coolant not water and the liquid coming out has no smell so I am leaning toward water, thanks for all the input....I guess the only thing left to do is taste it.
