Default Daughter smells burning fluid

Hi, all. My daughter says she smells burning fluid coming from the A/C vent. I don't really smell it, but her nose is a lot younger than mine...

I do see some seepage, but don't even know what component I'm looking at. Also see some residue in engine bay, but no idea if it's fresh, old, or just rainwater (it rained today).

I'm mostly interested in hearing what the thing is that weeping?

Also, after turning off the engine and popping the hood I could hear what sounds like pressurized gas escaping. Like the kind of sound you get if you don't screw the top on your thermos of hot coffee on all the way. It stops after a minute or two.


Next to oil pan on driver's side
