What do I have going on here

So in the vid I’m looking at a mystery fluid dripping onto my front axel, not like an active drip but obviously it’s been enough to make it wet. It’s a 2004 dodge ram 2500 with the 5.7 hemi. Noticed this after I jacked up the frame and let the suspension hang for several weeks now because I haven’t been able to return to the project. I’m just hoping it’s not brake lines but if it is how much would it be to take it in vs just trying to fix it myself. I’ve bled brakes before and replaced all the major brake components except for the brake lines. I’ve also gotta leave for my new job on Thursday. It’s either that or power steering fluid from when I used it to pop off my steering knuckle. Haven’t checked my reservoir yet because I have to have the front end jacked up a while longer while I finish putting the u joint and steering knuckle and everything back together on the drivers side.

The peg on my Detroit axel lower ball joint came and it’s slightly off center like shown by the pink line. It’s for a 2004 dodge ram 2500

Lower ball joint on a 2004 dodge ram 2500, missed a few times when swing a hammer to get it out and it marred the top lip where the top of the ball joint sits. Any potential problems from this? I was going to just file away the marred bit that’s sticking out.
