I've had this 2023 RX350h 13 months old now, with 3,300 miles. I've enjoyed the vehicle very much.
The vehicle has started dripping an oil residue it two locations. The first location is behind the left front tire and about 4 inched in from the tire. The second location is behind the left rear tire also about 4 inches in from the tire. Spoke to the service rep and they stated 'cars leak'. That was Strike-one in my book. I've had cars 10 years old that don't drip/leak grease or oil unless a repair is needed.

Do these drips look familiar to anyone driving a RX350 or RX350h ?
First photo is front tire, second photo is rear tire.

very thick goo behind front left tire

Very thin viscosity puddle

No way to tell without getting underneath and looking. Probably just one leak if it is from one.

There's an old saying about British and Italian sports cars that "if they aren't leaking they must be out of oil". I should know, my 1973 Alfa Romeo Spider just turned 51 years old on Wednesday....

Put down a piece of waxy white paper and upload the image of the liquid and I'll see if I can make an educated guess.

I don't like the spot where the liquid dripped because it's right under where the brake master cylinder is!

The one behind the front tire is thick like and sticky but pliable, a 'tar' like residue.
The one behind the rear tire has a very thin viscosity as if you were to sill a few drops of light-weight chain saw oil on the ground.
Definitely a petroleum like product.

Tammap,
Great suggestion, I'll see what I can do to collect a sample.

Bend down and sniff it. just be ready for an explanation when the neighbor asking why you are sniffing the ground.

Thanks all for your input,
I've been away and haven't followed up on this issue until I returned home.
Took the vehicle to the local dealer, along with copies of the photos showing the drips.
They couldn't find a cause or source. The vehicle has been drip-free since I got is back
