Maybe when the half-shaft failed a small piece of metal ballistically slammed into a coolant hose or other component of the cooling system, and that's what's leaking. If not, could the steering system have been damaged by the failure, and power steering fluid be leaking? I'm still waiting for a complete diagnosis.
I was kinda joking about the condensation; that wouldn't be from the center of the undercarriage, anyway. I'd say your leak is a coincidence that has nothing to do with the CV joint failure. But you need to find out what it is.
