from where it is i'd say it is just rear diff oil that has come up your breather and into the "chassis rail" where it exits. nothing bad, but if you are really concerned pop the bung out of the rear diff and check the level, it should just trickle out of the filler hole
No work done on rear diff mate, this level checking seems difficult, where exactly am I to pop?

I think I got weaping from aircon on my chassis rails sometimes but thats more oily hey. I also just remembered sometimes one of the diff breathers is pushed into the chassic rail. Look for any hoses that go into rail.

Green is coolant btw
Lol @ upside down, yes aircon was just regassed and hasn't had problems in 10days (had leaks earlier which are hopefully fixed) ran it today for 10min but I don't think it could create so much weaping?

Ok so a few people mentioned diff, it's just slighty green oil and to be honest it's not very oily.. I mean when I wiped it down all that was left was half dried residue and mainly black dust. Mechanic told me a while ago that I had a very minor rear main seal leak, could this have developed alot more? (6months ago)
