So the car is currently with a mechanic, and yet you post on an internet forum for diagnosis of the problem?

A decent mechanic would probably notice and notify you if there was a problem, just give them a call and let them know your concerns in case they don't see anything, but anything caught early is cheaper than a re-build.

And it could be anything from the overflow bottle like mentioned before to one of the under manifold pipes or hoses (getting exy) just get it checked while it's in there.....Price wise I'm sure Mao will look after you.

if its coming from the middle of the engine it could be anything, oil leak from sunp or sump plug, crank or cam shaft seal, ps fluid running down the front or coolant running dow the front

Could be coolant. Have you tried to trace the drip back to the source?
