So it appears there’s some sort of leak with my 2012 1500 ST, 5.7 HEMI. I’m at a location away from home, thanks Air Force, but my son sent these picture. What do y’all think or is it not enough to venture a guess till I get home?

Hard to tell from the pictures, but did you have an oil change recently? If that's the front right tire in the foreground, then I'd guess the filter is leaking. Can your son feel/smell the fluid on the ground and tell you what it is?

It looks like your a/c condensate drain. Is there any sign of water in the cab ?

He seemed to think it’s not oil. I’ll ask for better pictures. That being said it’s due for an oil change so it wasn’t done recently.

See if he can get pictures of the fluid, too. That'll help with ID'ing what it is.
