This morning I went out to my truck (2018 Ram 2500 with 6.7 Cummins) and noticed two spots of fluid on the ground under the passengers side.

after further inspection the left spot is a clear liquid, slightly oily. I’m thinking brake fluid. Definitely not ac the truck hadn’t been ran in about 8 hours. There is a connector under the truck which looks like where the fluid coming from.

the right spot is almost a dried white powder substance. I have no idea what it could be.

any help on figuring out what these substances are and where they are coming from would be greatly appreciated.

p.s. my truck is fully egr and def deleted.

Did they physically remove the DEF tank or is it still there (disconnected) with DEF fluid sloshing around in it?

I'm betting the DEF fill tube and feed tube are tucked above the frame and neither are capped, judging by The matching discoloration on the frame rail.
