I know some really good mechanics that tell what's leaking in a vehicle by tasting the fluid that's dripping. I worked with some when I was in high school. I had a drip in the garage recently and the first thing I did was taste it. Didn't taste like any vehicle fluid I ever came across. Not oil, not transmission fluid, not coolant, not brake fluid, not front or rear differentials or 4wd transfer case. Found out it was the power steering cooler rusted out and was leaking. First time I ever tried power steering fluid....very bitter. Don't knock it until you try it.
