Fluid Leak behind Right Rear Wheel 83 500 SEC?

[CamelotShadow]

Hi Guys,

Haven't been around in a while
Hope everyone & there Benzes are well.

Charging the battery last night
Started the car
Ran it in Park for a little while mostly in idle & a little at 1500 to 2000 rpm to get the fluids around the engine as I haven't used the car in a while.

Noticed a fluid wet spot under behind the right (pass) rear wheel area?
Looks fresh & I didn't notice it before & I have never had any leak there before.

Wondering what it could be?
brake line?
fuel filter?

Spot is over 1 foot long.
There appears to be a rubber overflow tube above the area that is near the what I think is the anti lock brake area.

I never used the brakes when I idled the engine & didn't move the car from park.

Curious what I should do
afraid to use car now if that is brake
may have to have it towed to repair?

Can't see where it came from but it does have a smell so maybe I'll bring the tissue over to a mechanics nose & he can smell is its gas or brakefluid or whatever is back there.

Any ideas?
Would it be dangerous to drive to a mechanic
Hoping its not anything major as I can't afford that now.



Thanks
