I'm stumped on this one. What's the history behind the mysterious fluid soaked floor? Did it just appear? Did you check from under the car? Any noticeable fluid loss from engine compartment? The only thing I can think of that is that close to the rear floor is rear end gear oil.

The rear wheels seems to be squatting maybe the differential seals, no major loss or dip in engine oil levels, just all of a sudden this oil more olive colored to a light gold color maybe?
