Don't Know Where Leak is Coming From...
It is coming from the driver's side engine compartment. Pool of Fluid and I don't know where it is coming from. Any Ideas?

It could be Brake fluid, trans fluid, power steering fluid, radiator fluid. Might want to start narrowing it down, by color, odor, feel.

Not taste tho.. 
You will get used to the different smells as you get more into working on your rig. I tend to make a mess when I work with tranny fluid. I don't need to smell it anymore. I just know if its all over me its tranny fluid.
After you smell the puddle Pull your dipsticks. Open the radiator, Get to know the fluids. I know it sounds dumb. But it will be your first clue to what you are chasing.

Did you even open the hood and look? A better description would be nice. All you really said was "My Jeep is doing something, what is wrong with it?".
