first off nice name I will remember that
see if you can taste the moisture if its sweet its antifreeze
if its not or you cant get a good taste of it get your head up on the dash and smell anti freeze has a distinct smell
if all else fails pull the car into the garage remove the radiator cap
throw it in nuteral push the car out. pull a new car in reinstall the radiator cap. sometimes thats the only thing you can do
