Getting a bit worried, cannot see exactly where its dripping from. I park on a slope.
Not much though. Oil level on dipstick is okay and hydraulic fluid reservoir is okay. All pressures and temps okay whilst driving.
Any ideas please?

I assume it's not just condensation from the air con?

Taste it, no taste = aircon condenser runoff. Bitter sweet taste = coolant.

I could just be water from when you wash it. I get water sitting in the scoops under the headlights which drips out when Im parked on a slope.

small drops of oil = oil sensor/transducer.

If you parked across a slope with the passenger side lowest it could be fuel from the carbon fuel tank breather filter. The filter can fill with fuel and overflow if the tank is full and the car is parked on a slope.
