Where did it come from? Have you found the source?

How humid is it in OK? Could it be nothing more than condensation from the A/C vent?

next time it happens, inspect the type of fluid that hit you, thats usually a dead give away of where its coming from.

Fluid on your feet is usually one of two things, brake or clutch.

He has automatic so that rules out the clutch i think it might just be some condensation, but best check it out.

Also note that a brake fluid issue would leave traces on the carpets.
I'd bet a nut that this is a condensation issue.

***Note***
This is the second time this week that I have bet a nut. Good thing I've been right so far... and good thing I got two.

It's condensation. Ever car I've ever driven in with the A/C blasting in extremely humid weather will do this.

Perfectly normal.

Or perhaps it's just battery acid. Either way, its harmless.

It's water leaking from the holes when you were mounting the fake intercooler.
