The fluid is clear and has no smell to it, it is coming from the front right side of the car and it is not coming from anywhere around the tire, and my air condition wasn't on, the fluid is a little greasy but has no smell, and it was a big puddle, I wanted to see if it was still leaking later on that night so I moved my car to a different part of the driveway and a little came out but not nearly as much as the first leak I noticed.
Can anyone tell me what it could be? And is it safe to drive?

i think the fluid might be coolent it is pink in color and the container that holds the coolent is low.

Sounds like snow melting from the frame.
Could be your radiator - put some green anti-freeze in it, which you should do anyway, and that might clear up the mystery.

Car Leaking Clear Oily Fluid

I am not implying anything here, but was the defroster on? some people don't understand that the compressor runs even when the heater is on if you have it on defroster or defogger.
I would also check the brake fluid. make sure your brake reservoir is full. then start the car have someone push hard on the brakes and check the area underneath for leaks.
if is brake fluid, have it towed to a shop......

Check the brake master cylinder fluid level and if you drive a manual shift vehicle check the clutch master cylinder. They both use brake fluid (which is clear and sweet). Good luck!

If you blew a strut you would know it. Sounds just like condensation. If it gets worse take it in and have it checked out. Also might want to check your brake fluid. That is clear and greasy.

You car is NOT safe to drive! From your description, the brake master cylinder is leaking the brake fluid out, soon you will have no brakes to stop with!
Fill it up and get it to the car repair shop or better, have it towed in.

You blew a strut and that is hydraulic fluid. You shouldn't drive it a long distance and get it fixed as soon as you can. Don't listen to these other answers. You are looking at hydraulic fluid. It is oily, clear, and odorless and will be in the area you described.

Is it raining? That could be a problem. Also, don't taste random fluid. Or you parked in a puddle.

Well I would say it is water...No fluid your car has should be clear and odorless unless it is air conditioning condensation , do you have antifreeze in your radiator? does your wiper fluid tank have just water in it or the blue wiper fluid? has it been raining where you live? or snowing?.... I don't think you have a problem unless you have just water in the radiator in which case you need antifreeze in it... drive on.
