Too much and too far forward for a motor mount leak. 99% it is power steering fluid. At that point probably a leaking line/hose or the connections for the two hoses that are directly above where the fluid is showing. More pics would help.

Holly Freaking LEAK! Clear oily Fluid-Passenger side rear!!
I already posted this on 6speed so sorry for double post!
So i just came back from a quick trip to the store in my 2002 996 6speed manual-which i just bought 2 weeks ago
only has 39k- i park and i look in the rear view and there is some smoke coming out the back (car driving normal, no lights, ect) i look under the car and notice a clear fluid is leaking, kind of an oily clear fluid- (engine oil level checked & this is not engine oil) its dripping onto the exhaust part and thats whats makign the smoke...then started the car again and when i did i noticed it was REALLY LEAKING like dripping out compared to just barley coming out after i stopped the engine..Great i've had this car a couple of weeks only.. now i have to worry all night as to what this **** is!
ps: LET ME REPEAT -COOLANT LEVEL IS NORMAL- CLEAR OILY FLUID DOES NOT SMELL LIKE COOLANT-COMING FROM PASSENGER SIDE REAR NOT DRIVERS SIDE!!!r -Also checked brake fluid in the front reservior and its full..the fluid is clear i let it drip on a napkin - its dark out which doesn't help
\
few photos! You can see in the second one while the engine was started that its like spewing out...****tttttttttttt
*****JUST CHECKED LEVEL ON THE HYDRAULIC FLUID CAP PENISTON STUFF & IT IS NOT EVEN SHOWING UP ON THE DIP STICK***Maybe the culprit here!

It ended up being the pentison fluid indeed- the O-Ring on the power steering hose line was pinshed for some reason & they replaced it- cost was $135 Pic below is of the line- its the right one!
