Coolant smells sweet and is visous between your fingers. It will rinse off your fingers completely.
Brake fluid has a distinct smell, open your reservoir and smell it if you have no idea. It will also rinse off with water.
Engine oil and manual gearbox oil will not rinse away. Engine oil will smell of fuel after being in use. Smell from the dip stick. Manual BG oil stinks of sulfer and smell rotten.
Auto GB fluid: You have a dip stick judge the smell and other things yourself.
The next time there is a leak, get some on your fingers. Feel it and smell it and see how it rinses off. You can know what it is.
If the puddle dries up over a day, it was water. There is a rubber drain horn for the cowl and the HVAC air box. The one for the cowl is behind the TB and a bit below towards the battery side. Just pull it out and clean, put it back. Ditto for the other, but it is above the cat, below the steering rack, you need to be under the vehicle to get at it.
