Lot of things it could be...could you post a video of the sound, and maybe a pic of the spillage?

Sounds like an exhaust system issue. Loose heat shield and/or holes in the system. Please post a sound byte

I think I know what you're talking about. It's a very slight and barely audible subtle buzz right? Mine does that, I believe when my foot is very light on the pedal. Car has no issues though. I think I've grown so used to it that I rarely am aware of it, since it's so subtle, and I don't think it always does it - although I could be wrong. (99 ES300)
