Can someone guess what fluid this could be?

I have a 2006 GT with a Saleen supercharger. I went for one last ride before storing for the winter. Left the car idling in the driveway while I swept the garage floor. Pulled the car in, jacked it up to change the oil. Everything went fine. The next day I checked under the car for leaks, and up front where the radiator/ intercooler area is, I find a small puddle of clear fluid with an oily texture. First I thought just water, but it does not evaporate. I wiped it up to check for a color, but it is clear not orange from the intercooler. No smell other than maybe rubber hose. I wiped up the puddle, but the mark is still on the floor. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Maybe the intercooler water? A small amount may not show the orange water-wetter color.

Sounds like brake fluid to me.

That's most likely, even after wiping it up it would stain the concrete.
