Fresh leaks wouldn't be black, and should look wet.

Which hydraulic systems are installed in the left BLG bay ?
Probably all of them.

There are a number of things in that left body gear wheel well, including....

Servicing point for all 4 hydraulic systems.

Gear (#1)

Body Gear Steering (#1)

Inboard flap drive motor (#1 Hydraulics)

Brakes and antiskid (possibly 3 hydraulic systems, depending on the location of shuttle valves).

etc...

Stains can also be caused by grease, oil and rainwater (plus contaminants, such as brake dust).
