      It looks like engine oil. It appears your tire ran over what was already on the floor as you pulled into the garage. I doubt it is brake fluid as it looks very dirty for brake fluid. I have a base engine 1970 automatic. Its not trans fluid. The oil was not under pressure either. It really requires a visual inspection on a lift. Good luck.

          Agreed - engine oil. Was your Corvette parked more to the left before your drive and you didn't notice the drips upon leaving? Was anything else with an engine in that spot when the Corvette was out?

              Not sure why I did not think of that. Yes the car was parked more to the left - so it was actually already there when i pulled out I just never noticed it. I jumped to conclusions on this one. There’s probably a puddle more to the right now. Mystery solved! Thanks!
