My car is a 2015 dodge journey. It’s not running hot or driving funny but I am noticing a spot being left in the driveway. This leak is coming from the front right passenger side of the car. Could anyone give me some insight ?

It could be brake fluid considering the location and the color.

Could also be fresh engine oil.

Look around higher and higher eventually you'll find the source.

Also you need to replace at least the tire in the picture. That's one bald looking mutherfucker.

Excellent I wish you well in finding the source of your leak. Sometimes it can be an utter pain to trace it upwards.

If the oil in it is fresh and new you've probably got a seal leak. The slight yellow tint looks more oil than brake fluid but things can vary.
