Leak onto downpipe

Hey guys ,
just fired up my T2 FC and noticed smoke coming from the engine bay, there appears to be something dripping like every 30seconds onto the downpipe. I had my coolant pipes replaced less than 1000k ago and can't see the source of the drip. All i know it hitting the top of the downpipe and its made a white mark on the downpipe. Any help would be appriciated.

most likely coolant,as oil would really smoke and leave a dark stain.
You need to look at it around that "30 second mark" and establish what it is.Then go from there.
The only fix is to know what it is and fix the leak.Right?.

Yea ,just can't seem to find the leak, really cramped for space in the back there. I guess the next question is , what's the best way to gain access to the rear coolant pipes (any pipes that could be dripping onto the exhaust) . Sorry for the dumb questions , I tried doing things without asking before and ive taken the long way several times only to find once ive done it that there is a much easier way. Thanks for the help regardless
