I've got a mystery leak back center PS of engine. It's not engine oil or differential oil. Both those are readily identifiable. It doesn't have that slimy, oily feel to it and it doesn't smell like rotten eggs (diff oil). At first it looked like it may have a redish tinge to it, but now I'm not sure. Based on some research in the 80's section I thought it might be the heater control valve or associated hoses at the back top of the engine. Did a closer inspection of those this past weekend and I don't see anything. No crusty dried up coolant at any of the hose ends, etc.
It looks like it might be brake fluid?? There are two gray hard lines just above the PS of the oil pan. They are damp with what appears to be the same fluid that's on the driveway. Are those brake lines? Need to take a look under the brake fluid reservoir and try to trace those lines further, but figure I'd ask. The reservoir is not low.

I had a power steering hose replaced several years ago with just regular high pressure hose as Toyota in it's infinite wisdom doesn't sell just the hose! Cdan recommended a hose off a Previa that is very similar to the 80, but the shop chose not to use it, so it could be that failing. I'll have a look this weekend if it's not raining!
