I went out to my van this morning and noticed a puddle under the vehicle. Upon closer inspection I determined it was a clear oily fluid. It is definitely not normal watery condensation dripping from the A/C unit. I double checked all my fluid levels. Brake fluid, engine oil, tranny fluid, power steering etc. These fluids all have obvious colors and all were filled to normal levels. I had been running my A/C but have since shut it off to minimize the risk of damaging important parts like the compressor. The fluid does not appear to be coming from the compressor. Do you have any idea what part it may be leaking from or what this may cost to repair?

If its oil from he AC system than the compressor will not engage and system will not cool
as gas will escape before oil would causing the low pressure switch to open and in return no AC compressor
I would suggest checking power steering fluid with engine running
also check coolant too
