I woke up this morning to find my 94 Ford Mustang GT coupe V8 5.0L leaking some kinda fluid out onto my driveway and this is what is leaking, what is it, and how do I fix it?!

What color? Swipe your finger over it.

Brownish, spotty a bit, I think my power steering line or something broke probably, my dad said thats prolly what it is when I told him over the phone, plus my power steering fluid resivor was empty this morning.
Now I'mma just need instructions on how to check/replace that xD

If it's power steering, it will have a STRONG smell. Power steering fluid stinks!! But, if it was empty, then that's it.

My nose is pretty well burnt out but it doesn't smell -THAT- much.
Smells a little bit smokey but doesn't smell burnt, not quite sure.

You know, they should color code all the damn fluids in cars, it'd make figurin stuff out so much easier xD

Ahhhhh, smokey smell = power steering.

well if its hitting hot parts it will have a burnt smell.
being by the rear main seal, its either the p/s pump or the rear main leaking. look around the pump and see what you can see, there is only 2 lines going to it, a steel line and a hose.

Is that the cross member in those pics. Because I have something leaking on mine aswell but I think the tranny pan is leaking.
