Blue drops? Wet or dry drops? Haven’t noticed, but can’t imagine what it would be. Something dripping from the Trunk?

No I haven't seen that. Can you post a pic? Do they dry up after a few hours or stay wet on the floor/ground?

Is your washer fluid blue? I can't think of what other fluid would be blue in the car.

Yea. So strange. Washer fluid was the first thing I checked but wasn’t it. I’d describe it as food coloring color. I thought maybe I ran over some paint but it’s lasted for 10 days now and it doesn’t dry on the side of the car. Doesn’t appear to be coming from trunk. It’s more noticeable in the rain when water interacts with the wheel wheel. And drips afterwards. I’ve used the hose to rinse it twice and also a car wash. But happened again today when I took it out in the rain to check. So strange. I’ll post a pic next time it rains

Check the undercarriage. You probably hit a Smurf and didn't realize it.

Don't bother checking the warranty - it excludes smurf-related damage.

I built a kit car several years ago, and I infused the framerails with the same hydo-filler that Toyota uses to dampen the sound in the frame. Your picture looks exactly like sound-deadening residue from the framerails/crossmembers. Maybe a plug has dislodged and the substance is leaking. By the way, it's not a problem or something that can be "refilled". But I'm sure it's annoying as heck.
