The later Type 3 boxes should be grease filled, and while the oil component may separate with time, it's unlikely to make a 'big wet stain'.
Screen washer fluid leaking?
Fuel? (unlikely; you would smell it).
Spare bottle of oil split or leaking?
You will have to look for evidence of what is leaking. Was the steering box replaced with an oil-filled one maybe?
Good to hear you and the Baroness are still together.

Hi All,
I'm alive and well, and still living in Frisco with The Baroness ('71 SB
carbed automatic).
About 5 years ago, I had to replace the steering box. Yesterday, I noticed
a big wet stain on the cardboard I keep under the car on the garage floor.
It was under the front, right between the wheels. I thought it was the
brakes leaking, but I looked at them, and they're OK. So I'm thinking it's
the steering box leaking.
What can I do? Do I have to replace it again?
