Brown leaking fluid?
#3
Agreed - the location would indicate one of the oil cooler lines. That location could also be the power steering reservoir or one of those lines although that fluid "should" be clear but if it is still the original fluid then brown might be expected. Either way, prudence would mean finding the leak and checking fluid levels before attempting to go anywhere in it.

DO NOT drive it. Or drive it and face possible consequence. Only you can decide.
Dark brown (presumably oil?) is likely oil cooler.
PS fluid could be that color, if you never changed it. And the lines are right there also. So could be that too.
Worst case, you have an oil pan or block leak.
You need to look under the hood. It should be obvious.
Check your PS fluid level. Look at the inlet/outlet tubes to the oil cooler.
Engine oil smells different from PS fluid.
If you do not know how to do this, and sounds like you do NOT, best just take it into service right away.
