Fluid Leak. Power steering?
I've been noticing some fluid underneath my car after I park it overnight. It's usually 4-5 drops a night and the fluid is a clear brownish/yellow color.
What could this be? I checked all my fluid levels and my power steering was low, so I think this is what is leaking.
Have any of you had any issues with your E55 power steering lines/rack/pump leaking?

take it to a tech to check it for you, if you engine oil is kinda old it would be brown, if new not.
gear oil is also yellow after couple of thousand miles on it.
you can now from the location of the drops i guess.

Hope its nothing big that caused the previous owner to sell it.

Well there seems to be a slight leak from where the power steering resevoir meets the power steering pump, but I'm still not certain that's the leak. The fluid is a transluscent yellow that drips (power steering) but it drips quite a bit over night. Yet my fluid levels are still full.
