A clear oily yet clear substance is coming from above the front number plate.

I Get this mine seems to collect behind the number plate. I think it's just water that has been sitting in the air filter and picks up some of the oil?

Mines deposited one drop every time I park the car for the last three years, regardless of the fact that the engines been out twice & various seals replaced.

Could be PAS fluid.

I've give up worrying about it.

It's more likely to be a slightly over-oiled air filter. The oil seeps off the sponge and down the air-funnel to land behind the number plate.

Completely harmless, but best not to leave it on the paintwork...
