try cleaning all that area with an engine cleaner and pressure wash it, might be easier to tell if it is in that area or if it is leaking down to that area.
the front and rear motormounts are liquid filled.

Is it fluid or just a grease? Thats part of the rack. Only fluid that could come out of there is PS fluid. Is your level ok? Wipe it down and keep an eye on it. If ti doesnt leave spots and your level is ok im not sure i would be too concerned about it
