I was backing my car out of the driveway to snow blow and I saw this yellowish liquid behind my car... I hope its just from a dog peeing and not something from my car! Anyone have any idea what it could be??

Yellowish?? Umm, how yellow?
Did you change the oil in the last week? If not, then it's probably not oil.
If it's oil, check the dipstick, then check underneath the car for leaks.

Best to dab a little of the liquid to smell it, and put some on a glove to rub it to see if it has a viscous or slippery feel to see if it's a car-related fluid or animal pee.

Otherwise, there aren't any yellow-colored fluids in the TL unless some fluid was replaced with an aftermarket fluid.

Yeah if I see it again I will smell it. It got plowed away so I cant find it now. Ill let you know what it is. I havent put anything aftermarket in it, who knows what the dealership puts in it when Im getting my oil changed..

Yeah, definitely avoid the last step of the Cheech and Chong method of determination (NSFW)

It's power steering fluid. I just had the exact same thing. I thought it was pee from something too....but it's not. Open the hood and look at the passenger side close to the fender, right above the belts. It's probably the power steering hose that is prone to fail, that's what mine was.

If it's leaking there, it's probably the inlet O-ring which is letting air in. The air causes the fluid to bubble and then overflow out the top of the PSF reservoir.

Have you had the PS recall done?
