Brown Spots/Leaks On Garage Floor

Hey guys, I've got an M2C with <1k miles. Recently just noticed there were two new brown/rust colored spots that appeared on the garage floor, one on each side. They look to be roughly where the front wheels are (see attached pics).

Any idea what these might be? Brake fluid? Oil? Unfortunately I found these already dry. Can't seem to find the origin under the car either. Has anyone run into anything similar?

Could it be rain run-off water from the brake rotors? Have a look for any similar drips on the wheel rims?

It does look like dirty water. wet it and see if you can wash it from the floor. If so it's definitely not something oil based.

It's just rust from the brakes.

I have identical spots in my garage from pulling the car in wet after washing it.

Thanks guys, this makes sense as I've washed it a couple times & pulled it straight in afterwards. Just wanted to be sure it wasn't part of a larger issue.
