So my 2002 has been leaking Break fluid. Last 2 times it did that, I had to replace the Rear calipers as the seals in those calipers leaks the fluid.

So was underneath doing an oil change today. Saw this wet hose, located below the ABS module. Any thoughts?

Transmission fluid? I'm not sure what fluid that hose carries. But the hose is wet in two places, both spots is where it joins.

Edit: Yesterday I flashed the LS with the Aggressive Tune. Can the aggressive tune cause any type of pressure issue on the lines to have caused this?

Edit 2: Ok I have noticed lately a bigger delay from reverse to Drive. I haven't taken it to the mechanic to check Tranny fluid in a while. mostly because I haven't been underneath this in 6 moths.
Wheres the Tranny dip stick on the 2002 LS's?

That's part of the hydraulic fan system right? It uses (as does the power steering) ATF. BTW, you don't want that getting into your alternator, or it really will be "break" fluid.
 
Based on its location, it wont get into the Alternator. I checked for surrounding hazards. IS the tranny fluid, power steering, and hydraulic Fan linked together? Or is the Tranny separate, on its own reservoir?
 
All separate, each with its own reservoir. (They all connect to the same air cooler assembly, but have separate loops within that assembly.)
