Default 2003 Mach1 clear fluid leak near under radiator?

Ok so 2003 mach 1 5spd bone stock just C&L CAI that is all. and there is some clear oil like substance leaking from that black hole in the picture, which is just near the radiator on the passenger side under that silver cylinder with the hard black lines coming from it, i mean sort of, im just using that cylinder as a reference point so you know where that leak is at...i have no clue what those lines are, maybe brake fluid? im guessing only...

i dont see leaking on top but id say if i let it sit for 5 hours i will have a quarter size amount on the ground, and its clear liquid not red or brown (as far as i can tell) but it smells kinda like oil or something similiar, its got the consistency of oil at least...any clues whatsoever? no codes are thrown, it has 6000 miles on it, brand new basically. thanks in advance!

Second on brake fluid. Seems over the past 9 years and only 6k miles, you have rotted a brake line enough to leak! Shouldn't be too hard to fix if you're a DiY guy.
