Unfortunately, there is not just one item that can cause this so we need to clean it off, top off the fluids and run the engine to see if we can locate where it is coming from.

Do you know if this is engine oil or transmission fluid? That would help narrow down the possible causes.

Let's start with cleaning it and running the engine to find out where it is coming from and that will tell us what steps to take next. Thanks
