HELP! YELLOW LIQUID LEAK

Hi!

I posted this on the CLS forum, but got literally no replies. As the w211 forum has allways saved the day, I ask you for help...

A few days ago I find to my horror yellow liquid under the 2005 CLS 55 AMG (see picture).

It is located on right (the opposite side from the steering wheel) closer to the windshield. The car is working fine and no error codes. The car was standing for 2 weeks, so it is a slow leak. Any ideas what is leaking? Is it break fluid? I hate when this happens...

Thanks in advance for any help!

Quick question after 2 weeks of sitting idle did the airmatic suspension lower to the ground. If yes then some of the lubricant from the airshockes has leaked out.

There was no noticable suspension lowering. The service guy suggested marker fluid from aircon. Sounded odd...

I'd guess motor mount fluid as well... No idea what else that could be.

So the car came out of the shop and they found.....

NOTHING, as usual. Well so far the most suspicious object is some kind of animal....

Not odd. It's typically a fluorescent yellow color.

I know, the odd part was that why would there suddenly be marker fluid in my aircon?!
