I don't have the same model as you, but I don't think you have PS hoses in that area. More likely a transmission cooler line is leaking?

there is a transmission cooler line down in that area, it travels from the side of the transmission (two of them), one is on that side, the other is on the other side of the bottom of the radiator. The radiator has a transmission cooler in the bottom. I think you'll find its that hose which is leaking

**PROBLEM FIXED** it was that hose called - lower pressure return line that was craked. Basically on the video, you can see right where the fluid is, there is a silver looking metal hose. Thats the culprit!!
it was like 2 feet long hose. So they had the part and changed it. I went on the city and hwy for a test drive and while on hwy the car was perfectly straight. Because before for a long time the car always veered to left or right and even after alignment and suspension check, it still did. And now it drove for 20 mins and it was well planted. I am very happy.
Now I am in more love with the car..hehe
Oh for loaner they gave me 2014 Camry , fully loaded tho. Nav,back camera, blind spot detection. Not bad..
