Need some help with an odd leak on my 911E

[Marine Blue]

So I have been driving my 911E every chance I get over the past few weeks and like everyone knows, the more you drive them the better they seem to run.

Well the downside to all this driving is the new leaks she's developing.. I'm not really surprised since she hasn't had the bottom end done and sat for a couple of years not to mention she's 45!

But last week I noticed a leak from a place that I wasn't expecting. It is exactly in the middle of the two front tires. Last I heard, all the fluids on these cars are either in the brakes or engine. This is a yellow oil and the amount was significant enough for me to be concerned. I checked the brake reservoir and its full and the brakes work great. I thought about what it could be and the only thing that comes to mind is possibly the hydraulic front suspension.

Can anyone give me some tips on what to look for and what it could be?

The only fluid I can think of center of the wheels might be from the steering rack.

Fuel?

Does the car still have the hydropneumatic struts??

Yellow is antifreeze or from an animal. Somthing else marking it's territory?;-)

I was under the impression that only 993 and later 911's had a hydraulic steering rack and all prior 911's had no power steering. If I'm wrong then the steering rack could definitely be a possibility.

Definitely not fuel, it is oily.
