Default Fluid leak from my 4.2

Tech question - what might be orange fluid (leaking on my garage floor).

It's oily in feel but orange/yellow in colour.

About a quater sized patch once a week - coming from mid area of the engine.

Is that too far back to be coolant?

Brake fluid??

Thanks!

Default Well, you could check your

brake fluid reservoir to see if it's getting low. Otherwise, it's probably gear oil from your transmission. It would be a good idea to have it looked at.
