they feel normal, but it could be brake fluid

since i have a manual i know it's not auto transmission fluid...i'm 99.9% positive it's not coolant...my service advisor's best guess is it's either Power Steering fluid (though i hear no whine when i steer) or brake fluid...no errors/messages on the Center display yet...driving wise feels normal..i actually found out thru my father (he noticed a puddle where i normally park and let me know)...since my advisor said it seems to be drivable for now, i'm taking my car in first thing tomorrow (when i know i'll have a loaner available to me)...i'll drive home and leave it for the time being
