No it was not there before. My Pioneer is parked alone in my lower garage. I even posted a picture of where it's coming down from the frame onto the ground. I just checked again and it's dripped again from the same spot. Not as much this time but it's there, again. I'll do more investigating later today. I've been working so much this week that I've not had much time to fool with it, which is why I was hoping someone here could quickly identify the problem to begin with.
We're doing the best we can to help you. I recommend getting the front elevated then pulling the skids and giving it a thorough power washing. Then let it dry and look for leaks. Raising it will help the water run out of the frame.

I appreciate it! I'm definitely going to do that. I'll try to this evening and maybe figure more out when I get back under there.

Ok, I've identified the source of the leak but I'm still puzzled by it. I just recorded and uploaded a video rather than type and explain everything. Look over my hoarse voice, allergies have been haywire. Ideas?

Could it be rust leaking from water inside a frame? This is will be orange in color as described.

Dont know my friend,

Have you ever flipped it?
Most of the vent tubes run into the frame. It is possible they are connected in some way via vent ports throughout the frame and has now found its way down and into the mainframe exiting that vent port.

I still think its rust/water/muck, but I agree its awful oily.

Are you the first owner? There were talks about putting rust preventer inside that main tube. I forget the name of it.

When I had my clutch done. I know they had oil everywhere. I watched them take it out to a pit and de-grease it before re-assembling the body parts. Still, none of this is connected to that frame. *I dont think*

I know it is going to bug the crap out of you but don't let it ruin your life. lol.

I am the only owner. I bought it new last year. It's never been flipped or rode rough at all. I baby it. I dunno, I'll just keep an eye on but definitely won't let it stop me from enjoying it!

That's very odd. It's possible something was in there from the factory but I would think it would've appeared before now. Just rinse it out with the garden hose and don't let it bother you.

“I baby it”. That’s the problem. Ride it like ya stole it and it will quit shedding those tears from not having as much fun as it could have!!!
