Hey

My car was having a photo shoot last night and when we moved it on a bright white floor we noticed some red-ish oil. Hydraulic in texture, no smell
Anyone know what this is before ringing the experts and getting Noble Motorsport and JetStream to guess. Needs booking in for a few bits anyway.

Thought I would ask here first!

Power steering fluid?

FYI, I recently had Bespoke replace my PS hose. The inner core had perished - you could squeeze the hose flat with your hand! Not cheap though - close to £200 for hose alone from Noble (about the same price when made up by mobile supplier, before anyone asks).

It certainly sounds like super clean hydraulic oil.
