Default Leaking '04 Disco

Looked at the garage floor this morning and noticed that there were two pools of oil. I had to alternate parking from one side of the garage to the other, even though we are down to just the Disco.
The leak appears to be coming from some where on the drivers side. The oil has no scent but it is a dark brown color. When I thought the transfer case was leaking the fluid was clear (carmel) and I had the dealership tend to that one. I did not get a chance to pop the hood as the only thing I think it could be is the powersteering, so I'll have to check the levels to see if its dropping.
Is there anything else I should be looking for?
I am guessing that if it was engine oil it was have the slight sent of gas mixed in with the oil but I did not smell that. This leak however is in a different spot for the transfercase as that one was on the passenger side.
The steering feels a little easier this morning and it did not make that slight groan like it normally does when I first drive it in the morning. The Disco has roughly 48,500 on it.

You might put some news paper under the truck so you can get a better idea where it is coming from.
I would crawl under and search around with a flash light. On the drivers side of the truck you should only show leakage from the power steering, engine oil or coolant.
How big a puddle are you getting?

The puddle's have been roughly 1"-2" in size. It's probably the Power Steering. I'll put some paper down tonight. It's not that hard to see on the floor as its painted and the oil just says there since it can't soak into the concrete. Looking this morning the pool seemed to be just aft the Driver Side Wheel and roughly one foot under the vehicle.
