How much is there and where is it leaking from?

I'm wondering if it isn't compressor oil from the AC, maybe a blown 'o' ring going into the receiver/dryer, etc.

Possible it could be brake fluid... there are clear brake fluids, what color is the fluid in the brake reservoir?

If it's compressor oil, you don't want to run the AC until you get it repaired. But, there is a low pressure switch which will cutout the compressor if you lose too much refrigerant/oil.
