Strange leak? 95 940.

I have noticed a small leak (not consistent) underneath the car on and off over the past couple of weeks. At first I thought it was a rear main seal because I could see a small drip form at the bellhousing. This weekend I noticed the drip had returned after a short hiatus. It looks to be brake fluid, light amber colored, not the same viscosity of engine oil. I checked the master cylinder and brake booster but they seem fine. The idle is a little off and I was going to change the brake booster check valve and hose and since this leak looks brake fluid like I was going to change the brake fluid resevoir grommets. Anything else?

    Could be brake fluid, but that should be easy to trace since it will drop right down from the reservoir. ATF is red, oil is tan to brownish to black, coolant is green/orange/yellow.
