It is a clear and sticky fluid. Coming from passenger side, traced it above the exhaust heat shield next to the transfer case I think. Any ideas?

Didn't know fluids had sex, good to know. At any rate is anyone else seeing leaks from that area? Wondering if this is condense of some sort. Do not see any oil out of engine or transmission. Brake fluid also is topped off. The mystery fluid does not leave marks on the driveway after it dries so it might juts be water running through the heat shield and firewall material and maybe getting the weird consistency.

Condensate

Seems if it's evaporating w/no stain on the driveway it's water-based. Been running your A/C lately? Most seem to drain condensate from somewhere in the passenger side. Not sure exactly where Ford routes ours.
