This is a 2019 Navigator 3.5
The liquid droplets smell like fuel.
16,000 on engine.
The cam phasers were replaced.

No idea what it is, but can you figure out of the liquid is coming from someplace or is it just condensation?

It looks like something coming fr the water pump possibly? You could always see if the fluid is flammable. Get some on a qtip or something and see if it lights up quickly. I would do that before I drive it anywhere or make the dealer pay for a tow.

Just checked mine and it's definitely coolant related, or possibly for the oil coolers. Tried to trace the hose but it's like tracing network cables. Not to mention I need a ladder to look into the engine compartment and I'm not short.

I went out this morning, I did notice a lot of condescension.

It was in the 30 degrees range.

Maybe just water.

The only thing I could think of, looking at that pic is that maybe it's not sealed right and coolant is slowly escaping from that top bolt as steam, which it could then condensate on the too portion. In your close up of the bolt, I see liquid on the top of the bolt. I would have it checked just to be sure, they should be able to pressure test it to make sure. But of course that means you'll be without your rig again for at least a day.
