Ok, I drove my car yesterday to visit a wolf sanctuary out in the boonies. The roads were rougher than normal. Went to get the car out tonight and noticed a puddle right inside the front left wheel. It was a clear looking fluid that didn't have a really strong smell. At least I don't think it did because my sinuses are acting up. Anyways I put it up on the ramps and got a closer look under there. This **** is all over my strut, caliper, inside of my tire, wheel-well, and it is all over the brake line where it goes into the back of the caliper, and it is dripping out of the hole in the bottom of the spring perch. I looked at the brake and power steering levels. Brake level was at max and power steering level was between max and min. I pumped the brakes and didn't lose any pressure and turn the wheel and didn't notice anything weird. I just recently had my front tokicos(non-adjustables) put in and X2 balljoints too. But I haven't put in my offset rack bushings. What could this be from? Do my struts have anything in them like what I mentioned above(clear, slimy fluid)? My car has been riding alot rougher since putting the tokicos in. Could my steering rack be leaking because of it not being lined up right? Someone help. Thanks.

Is the liquid thick or really runny?

It's not really thick, but it's not thin like water. I poured out some of my brake fluid from the bottle onto the floor next to the puddle and it had the same consistency and color.
