Car leaking fluid

I recently got the car back yesterday to get my cat converter replace. The car is now leaking some type of fluid from the under the driver side. The color of the fluid is blue. It's been leaking since late last night. anyone have any idea what it might be. Upset cause I've had the car about 3days in total this month from it going in and out the dealer.

Blue is either coolant or washer fluid. Check your coolant level when the engine is cold to make sure it's ok. If its washer fluid it's most likely the drivers headlight washer, since that's the only thing on the left side of the car.

Thick or clear? Could be wiper fluid or radiator.

OEM washer fluid was clear in my car. Check the coolant.

The fluid is clear, also doesn't have a smell to it. I hope it's just the washer fluid. Getting fed up with this car.

You'd be able to smell the washer fluid. It's almost purely alcohol and burns your nose if you get within 2 feet of it.

As mentioned in another post, check the level of your coolant.

Took the car to the dealer, the driver side headlight washer pump went out. They are replacing it and it will be finish by tomorrow.
