So I pulled my AR192 out of winter storage and brought her home to get cleaned up and ready to get back out in the water. I backed her in my driveway which is at a slight angle. Later in the afternoon I noticed a small amount of what looked like a clear substance had been leaking out. I don't know if this was fogging oil or maybe antifreeze when I got the boat winterized for the winter. I checked the engine compartment and couldn't find anything. Any ideas?
 
Where was it leaking from? How do you store it? Inside or out? Could it be rain water that had settled somewhere over the winter?

I'll bet it is just residual water from the wet muffler @lddv1224. Was the boat angled stern down in the driveway? There are no clear fluids used in these boats so if there is no oder it is water. If you crank the trailer jack to lift the bow a little more you will likely see more water fall out.
 
@itsdgm @Gym The boat was angled stern up in the driveway. It appeared to be coming from the intake grate. I keep it stored in a metal pole barn
all year around.
 
Again, I would run the trailer jack way up and way down to change the pitch of the boat to see if you can duplicate the issue. I'm pretty sure it's just water.
 
Was there moisture in your clean out hatch? Or the clean out tubes? If so, possible it could have come from there (dripped down the tubes to the grates).
