Moisture under engine
Good time of the day
Couple of hours ago I’ve popped up the hood of my car, without any reason just to check it and notice the moisture under the engine (see pictures) can anyone tell me what it is and how urgent it is, I have important meeting in the morning outside the city so I need the car, but can I drive i for that distance or should i take it to the master right away? Please it’s an urgent issue!

Need a wider shot. The oil cooler gaskets next to the filter is also known to go and it looks like it might be oil. Should be ok to drive. Thermostat housing is also up there so even if it were coolant, should still be fine, just check the coolant reservoir tank first to make sure you're not low on fluid, but normally if it were low, you'd get a low coolant warning. Should check it when the car is cold of course.

I can guess the engine from the picture, but would be nice to know what is it?
WIth all the dirt, you have stains everywhere. I don't see any active leak. Some oil stain on top COULD be spill from engine filling.
There is dried water stain under water pump, but who knows when it happen?
Wash it and recheck.
