Default Mystery Leak???

After a 200+mi road trip, parked her for the night and noticed a little liquid on the floor the next day. Hard to tell the fluid..not gas, tho...maybe Brake fluid? (But NO loss in the resv - I flushed and bled a couple of weeks ago when I had to replace the master cyl. and ATF level also appears unchanged!)

Dripping under where the drop link connects on the bottom. Also noticed that the bottom of the rear coilover is 'wet' on most if the height adj. threads, so it appears to be somehow hitting the coilovers and running down to the base...Couldn't see anything abnormal in a quick visual check.

ANY ideas?

Fluid from the power steering? Check the boots and hoses.

Definately sounds like a leaking shock. One of the original bilsteins on my car belched quite a bit of oil without any warning.
