    I just drove about 10 miles. I came home, parked my car and noticed something leaking. I put my finger in it, just looked like water... so I popped my hood, looked near the back on the engine bay and saw it dripping. It was dripping behind this hose. Possibly a drain? I washed my car about 2 hours before

    It's either brake fluid or water, you can tell when it's on your hands. Brake fluid is kinda slippery and has a distinguishable smell.

    There is a brake line that runs along the firewall. That's on a lot of gm cars. But usually you will tell the brakes are spongy soon after you notice fluid leaking.

    Yes but the brake line is lower than that hose.

    Brake lines are pressurized and can spray upward as well as any direction...

    Well aware but don't think it's brake fluid. I had this issue with my 97 GP and replaced the P/S hose and all was good.
