Leaking Viscous Coupling?

I've found some clear, sticky oil on the garage floor beneath my '98 V70AWD. Can't find anything leaking from the engine, tranny, AC, power steering or brakes. Is it possible that my viscous coupling is leaking? Anyone had any experience with that? Or, could it be fluid-filled motor mounts? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Leaking Viscous Coupling? 850 1994

I have seen some similar oily clear fluid under my wagon, so I'm wondering too.
Doesn't the fan clutch have viscous fluid in it?

No fluid filled mounts on your car. Remove the splash guard from under the car, one bolt on each side and three clips along the front bumper. This will help you determine where the oil is coming from the next time it leaks. Good time to clean up the splash guard anyway.
