Leaking fluid....help!

I have a 94 S500 coupe (W140). I noticed some fluid leaking the other day. It is coming from the front drivers side, near the wheel. Engine oil level is fine, as well as the coolant level. I am gonna take it to the dealer ship to have it looked at but can someone tell me what fluid it could be? The color of the fluid is black/brown. I know this is vague but any help would be apprecaited. Thanks.

Could be oil, could be power steering fluid, could even be transmission fluid leaking from a cooler line.

I'm sure it isnt engine oil. I checked the level and it was fine.
I don't think it is the sttering fluid. I had it changed last week and I am assuming that if there was a leak, it would have been noticed at that time.

Could it be the hydraulic fluid? When I had my car serviced last week (oil change and steering fluid change), the dealer filled some hydraulic fluid at that time.
