What is this and why is it leaking?

[freewheel]

I noticed my 92 coupe leaking in the driveway. I jack it up suspecting a gasoline leak...nope. It appears to be dirty water. Doesnt smell like petroleum products and evaporates from my fingers in less than 30 seconds. Its leakinf from a block in front of the driver's side rear tire. Any ideas or clues to what this is will be highly appreciated!!

Looks like brake fluid or condensation from the charcoal canister....

I believe those are brake lines to your ABS which on my 90 is below the cargo lid behind the drivers seat. Looks to be almost like you have some damage there ?? If so that might be brake fluid.Check your master cylinder to see if it is low on fluid.

I first thought it was brake fluid myself. Its just not oily, and evaporates quickly. The master cylinder is full and I have full pedal and no real fade.

I forgot about the cargo compartment behind the seat. My vette has had to sit out in the rain for a week due to my primary ride being in the body shop shop (thanks no-driving no-looking steering wheel holder). I'm gonna run see if any water is pooled in the bin. The weather stripping is ...well its Corvette weather stripping LOL

Check the area below your passenger side storage bin as well; take out the bin, the jack, lift up the foam and feel for water at the bottom of the storage well. Likely you'll have it in both sides.
