Default Leaking Clear Viscous Fluid @ 1,600 miles!

Arrived home in 2008 XC90 AWD 3.2 with only 1,600 mileson Monday to find fluid leaking from engine. Put several pans and next morning found CLEAR viscous fluid (thus not water) with a yellow-brown scum on top in the pan under the left forward section of engine bay; light brown oily fluid in pan under right forward section of engine bay. Towed it to authorized service center (1-man shop nearby), then had to tow it onto Hawaii Superferry to Volvo dealer on island of Oahu this weekend. The local shop insisted it was condensate and oil, but the clear fluid I collected was definitely not oil, but very viscous. Is this the Haldex AWD fluid? Oil plug, filter, etc. all tight. I assume if it was tranny, it would be red.
