Post 2003 Ford Explorer leaking something?

I just noticed my Ford Explorer is leaking something from the front end. Its a very small drop. It is some type of sticky oil. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Seriously, you're going to need to give us more to work with than this. Where, exactly, is the leak happening - left, right, ahead of radiator, just behind radiator, near the front of the front tires, etc. What color is the fluid? Have you stuck your head underneath and looked for the source? Have you checked fluid levels to see if one is low? Did you just have the oil and filter changed?

I will check the fluids tomorrow. I had a oil change done 2 weeks ago. I just had my bearing replaced in my front left wheel.
