Rub some of it between your fingers and check the color and odor. The PS fluid has a slight color where as brake fluid is clear, both will feel viscous. If it feels just like regular water or has a slight tint of coolant and slight odor then it might be some coolant coming out the overflow or overflow tank cap and splashing over (driver's side mostly). The A/C compressor is on the passenger side and will drip perfectly clear water when in use (A/C or defrost).

The wetness is at the bottom of the boot. You can see it is slightly darker in the picture at the bottom of the boot. Can't really see the color since there are dirt on the boot as well. I would say the fluid is clear. It does feel viscous.
