Odd Oily Leak

Odd Oily Leak
Hey -
Posted about this issue a couple of months ago and got a pair of responses suggesting power steering fluid.
Here's the issue - Finding a coating of an oily (clear, generally odorless) substance on the threshold and lower front door opening of the car's driver side. Have cleaned it off a couple of times and it returns.
After the first set of responses, I started checking for source of power steering fluid around that location - can't find a source. Thought it might be coming from within the inner fender liner, but that area is totally dry and no fluid source. The power steering reservoir is at the left-front of the engine, far away from the door threshold, so I'm lost.
Anyone got suggestions - what the fluid is, and how it gets to the door opening? (without getting onto the hinge area of the door opening)
