What is the clear liquid not water leaking from the bottom of your 2001 Chevy Suburban's Engine?
You engine contains coolant, oil, transmission fluid, P/S fluid, brake fluid, gasoline, & windshield washer fluid. Smell of the fluid, and if it has no smell it is not gasoline. If it is not slick to the touch it is not oil, transmission fluid, or P/S fluid. So that leaves brake fluid, or windshield washer fluid. Brake fluid does have a slight smell, and may be slightly slick, if you pay close attention. Look at the area it is coming from and this is a clue to what is leaking. Try laying a piece of white paper under the vehicle and see what it looks like on paper. Color is a clue.You engine contains coolant, oil, transmission fluid, P/S fluid, brake fluid, gasoline, & windshield washer fluid. Smell of the fluid, and if it has no smell it is not gasoline.

You are leaking brake fluid in a Plymouth laser 92' but can't see where it's leaking from all the wheels are dry lines dry?
I would double check the master cylinder tank and lines. Recheck the lines. Make sure to check the splitter blocks. (The area where the lines go to the left and right tires. also called proportioning blocks) If the brake fluid is leaking possibly onto the exhaust somewhere then it might be burning it off before it has a chanceto to drip anywhere else. Just run your fingers physically along the brake lines. If it is a leak then it has got to be there some where. You checked the back of the wheels really well? You could also try getting a uv light and dye and trying to find it that way also.
