It could be oil; can I ask what color the fluid is that is leaking? This guide can help us find it. I would raise the car up and use a flashlight to see if you can find the origin of the leak which can help us determine the course of action on fixing it.

And this can help raise the car up:

I’ve had a leak before too, and only found the source after getting the car up in the air.
