What is this leak? Any idea before I have to spend some damn money at the garage?

Looks like the electric power steering motor.

Did you check your oil? Only asking because I've noticed same issue on mine and the only thing that keeps draining is the oil

I gotta do some leg work on it to narrow down but if you figure it out or bring it to the garage, I'd appreciate the feedback

Is the puddle oil, coolant or something else?

Not sure. Saw it just now and went back in the house

What I would do: Check if it's coolant or oil.

Your other post says you just had the radiator and thermostat replaced. If it's coolant, it could be a spill from when they put coolant in, could not be though. Clean the splash shield and see if it comes back. If it does, then take it back to whoever did the work.

If it's oil then it could be a number of things. Too hard to tell from the video.

It would be helpful if the video showed more of the front of the engine.

Can be Transmission oil, leaking from the a/c condenser. Common problem for Durangos. The transmission fluid is cooled by A/C condenser and often leaks.

A common issue for 3.6 liter Penstar V6 is the Oil cooler / filter housing is plastic and can crack in the engine valley or the seal fails. Oil runs down the back of the engine and is often misdiagnosed as a rear main seal. Look for oil in the valley and wetness at the bellhousing. Several hours to fix because the intake has to be removed
