Weird Observation on my P/S belt
I noticed there are little specs of liquid on my P/S belt, the outer lay facing up. The specs go all along the belt and are only on the belt top surface and not anywhere else. I wipe them off (too small to see color) and again they reappear after driving. I looked really good to try and find the source but cant find anything. Anyone have this before?

I wiped the areas with a clean white towel first thing and you can't tell. Tried tasting it too but the specs are so tiny you cant taste anything. Odd, they are nowhere else. Everything around the area is dry. I thought maybe the belt was leaching out when it got hot, but only a thought. Belt is about a year old.

Looks like it must be coming from the w/p after all. The belt is directly below the fan pulley/fan attachment. Residual coolant must be leaking out the end of the w/p shaft and slowly seeping between the fan/pulley mated surfaces. Funny, w/p weep hole is dry. I'll wait to weather cools down to change it--too freakin hot here now. Its my 10AE and I rarely drive it. Thanks for the inputs.
