Yellow fluid

[Shell444]

Has only rained twice in Calif- but both times my X had yellowish fluid pooled on ground around exterior of car. Nothing und

er the car. Any thoughts?

Where exactly around car?
My first guess would be break fluid but it could also be just washing off something u collected over dry days...

if its anything like mine its the residue of dirt and dust build up from your exopy floors as well as a dirty car after a rain.

Its around the middle of the exterior. I hope it is just dirt build up. Made me a bit nervous because of the color. Thank you

When it is dry put a piece of cardboard under car for a couple of days and see if it gets wet. Soap residue from washing it? Can you take it to a self serve carwash and spray it down to see maybe it is coming off the paint?

There are parts of the car that drain slower: door panels, rear hatch, under front windshield.
Dust, pollen etc also collect in those areas.
