No one understands your post. It's really not clear what you've described.

When you are talking about something that is burning, leaking, and thickening all in the same paragraph you need to be ready for some off the wall responses

OP,

If you want start a thread seeking help and advice on a car forum, you'd be smart to hang around for the discussion. Otherwise, don't bother.

There are a lot of very helpful and very knowledgeable people here, but getting good advice requires a good description of the symptoms. You haven't provided anything close to that, or even bothered to hang around for the people trying to help you.

I here that I joined the site a while ago but reall have not been on to much and now noticed drops of a clear fluid directly between the driver rear tire and where the axel goes in to. I'm not to familiar with what the actual parts are called. The burning I smell is very slight. I noticed it over the summer time. But just thought it was from driving hard. So I noticed this because I took the car out for a spin on Friday and saw some drops of fluid when entering my garage
When I place my hand on the axel or rear suspension
it is wet the other side is bone dry. I'm thing this is the burning smell.i have pictures and am going to upload.

OK, are the drops oily or more like water?

If it's in the area where the driver's side, axle half-shaft enters the differential, the most likely suspect would be a leaking differential seal, but that fluid would be oily and not likely clear.

If it's wet on one side and not the other, take the car in to a dealer and have them take a look. This is certainly not an issue I've seen reported here.
