It maybe the power steering pump and the fluid is running down the belt to the crank pulley. Crawl under and look for oil running down the belt. I am guessing your leak is power steering fluid.

Could it be Coolant ? Might be dripping from the bottom off the water-pump ? There's a "Tell Tale" weep hole on the bottom of the impeller housing maybe telling you the water-pump bushing/seal has gone south.

Loosing Coolant ?

Loosing PS fluid ?

found it , the front seal on the power steering pump was seeping , and it ran down and was dripping of the balancer , not to bad to change , getting the fan off was the biggest hassle
