Found this underneath the car on the garage floor when I backed it out over the weekend. I had a drop there a few weeks ago and wiped it up as I wasn't sure if it was from the car or not. This one is in the same place (as you can see from the previous stain) and just a drop too. It's underneath probably where the rear end is, though I don't see anything under on the car itself...it's a 2014 Z51 with 6800 miles.
From the look of the residue on your finger, a grease?? With the high ambient temperatures, a grease can liquefy and drop from a component. Maybe universal joints or residue from assembly during manufacture? Look for evidence where it might be coming from. I would observe over a period of time to determine actual amount and circumstances relating to leak.

Looks like gear oil; get the car up in the air and check out the cooling line connections between the cooler and the diff., you might get away with just a little wrenching to fix it
M7 or A6? Seems like there were a few cars with gear oil leaking from a weep hole between the manual transmission and the differential because of a defective rear seal on the transmission. there were also some with leaks from the seals on the axle half shafts where they go into the differential.
