Oily substance 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
I came home from work today and after the R* had sat for a while I noticed an oily clear fluid that appeared to be dripping from one of the exhaust pipes. Does anyone have any ideas on what this could be?

I would check your brake fluid.

No problem. I would also smell it to make sure it isn't gas. Either one could probably manage to trickle down to the exhaust.
