On the 8.1L engine with the Allison transmission you have TWO sets of blue cooler lines coming from the rear up to the radiator. The blue lines on the driver's side carry engine oil to be cooled by the radiator and the blue lines on the passenger side carry transmission fluid to also be cooled by the radiator.
There are also brake lines that converge in that area along with hydraulic fluid from your levelers.
Now if you throw in radiator coolant and window washer fluid, along with condensation from the AC unit, you can see that you have a lot of fluids that can start to drip by the front wheels.
I think it is important that you collect some of the fluid on a white piece of paper and then try to identify it. It could be important or insignificant in the operation of your coach.
