Oil leak behind front drivers tire
Anyone know what is causing this oil to appear on the ground behind my front passenger tire?

There are 2 drains right there. The first is brake fluid. I never checked where the other goes. A/C condensation??
Does is smell like brake fluid? Impossible to mistake that smell.

Its gonna be brake fluid. there is a small black plastic line that vents the brake fluid resivour. the other line is the over flow drain from your fuel filler so if it overflows it goes to the ground there. Thats not fuel.
Your over filled, or if you put new pads in or something like that it would back up and overflow down that tube.
Just check your level and your good.
Oh, one last thing, your AC lines are close by and if they break, the oil from the AC freon lines would leak oil but if A/C works then its not that.

IIRC the other one is for draining the blower intake, not sure where the A/C condensation goes.
Edit: Jeff's right the other is for fuel filler overflow.
