Default something's leaking pretty bad

ok, so now i have strange blotches of residue all over my driveway. They've been appearing over the past 2 weeks or so. I've checked my oil obviosly and it doesn't seem to be diminishing. Also, i've smelled the residue and it doesn't smell much of oil. Anyone have any thoughts on what it might be if not oil? I have no clue. Brake fluid or manual tranny fluid? everything seems to be working fine..........so far.

btw, it's a 94 accord ex.

if its not oil, and it doesnt smell sweet, then its not coolant.....

probably brake or other hydrolic fluid

That would be my guess.

Yeah, on a 94 I'm guessing power steering. I've never seen a car that's 5+ years old that doesn't leak a drop at some point or another. High pressure lines suck ***!

I had to replace my clutch slave cylinder, it was leaking DOT 3 fluid everywhere, and I eventually lost pedal pressure.....

My oh my oh my oh my. Why would you want to live in Japan for? You like paying 400 millions dollars a month for a 1 bedroom appartment the size of a bathroom????

I have an idea for you... Why don't you check all your fluids to see if they are low? Instead of just the oil?
