What is this? Leaking fluid...
Guys,
Pics attached.
What is leaking? Located drivers far side corner of the engine, bottom of the engine. In other words, left hand corner of the engine. No apparent valve cover leaks. Definitely not oil
Noticed it last night when the car was up on a lift.
Thanks,
TK

Just a wild guess, check your enigine oil fill tube/cap area. Is it possible that some oil is seeping slowly thru in that area and then slowly dripping down?

Determine if its engine oil or power steering fluid. Above the ac compressor you can see in the pictures you have oil fill cap, valve cover and power steering pump, reservoir and high pressure line

Smell it
If it's power steering fluid, I'd check where the power steering reservoir connects to the pump. There is an O-ring somewhere in that setup (Tank) that likes to leak.
If it's engine oil, check the oil filter housing, where it meets the timing cover of the engine. Another gasket in there likes to leak.
