fluid coming out from under hood?

There is an orange/clear fluid coming out from under the bonnet and running down the sides of the car onto the black bumper over the wheel well. It will clean off but leaves a residue.

I raised the bonnet and this same fluid is on the underside. I dont' see anything on the engine or anywhere like that. It seems to be coming out from between the two panels of the bonnet.

Maybe it's some kind of lubricant ? Any ideas?

I believe you are talking about yellow cosmoline. Please see this thread.
