coolant leak?

So had our first 90 degree day here in New England and it seems that its a good day for my coolant system to have an issue. I have a 2001 Boxster base and today I started it cold (cold but sitting in the sun so the cabin was roasting hot) and the temp gauge light was flashing. I know this means add coolant and I checked but I couldn't see the coolant well in the sun. After I opened the coolant cap looked in and then shut it and started the car again the light didn't flash nor has it overheated. In fact after driving for a short trip the radiator fans kicked in and the temp went down. The car temp never went above 190. Under the car I noticed a ton of dripping right behind the passenger seat area. I have put cups to collect the fluid. The color of the liquid is pretty clear but I can't tell if its coolant or not. Thoughts?
