you've got to be kidding. did you seriously just take a picture of a spot on the ground and ask us to identify the fluid? did you seriously just say "hey guys my power steering fluid is disappearing and I have some unknown fluid on the ground, do you think my PS fluid is leaking?" come on...

tranny fluid = ps fluid. both are reddish unless youve actually put "power steering fluid" in your reservoir, which is clear
those spots on the ground look like water the way they are dispursed. im guessing thats condensation from your ac (water).

a dog could of just took a runny dookie and someone sprayed it with the hose and that whats left over.
seriously you wouldnt be able to tell from a stain on the street. if anything if its leaking that bad put a big peice of plastic under your car over night where you suspect the leaking is coming from and go from there

how about putting a white or some other light colored paper under car and take a note on what side trhe leak is comming from and what color it is. If your fluids are old, they will all pretty much be dark color and tough to identify amongs them.
But did you fix your p/s leak yet?

you guys all fail... this is simple. I diagnosed all leaks:
Tho in all seriousness that doesnt look like any car fluids. I've had my share of leaking oil and trans fluid and the spots it leaves are darker then that. Looks like water spots to me. You need to smell the spots when they are still wet. Trans fluid has its own smell. If you dont know what that is take ur trans dipstick out and smell that, then compare. Last way to tell is park over a white towel, let the stuff drip on that and c what color the stain is on the towel.

I have very similar spots on my drive way where I park and I know it is P/S fluid for me cause the rubber tubes on my return line are total crap and leaking. thats why I have 2qts of P/S Fluid in my trunk. just fallow the lines that lead from your P/S reservoir right after you have driven it and see if it is leaking.
