There’s really only one option you going to have to crawl around to find your leak.  What kind of fluids are leaking?  A Coolant hose is leaking which get on the fan and throws it all over.  Maybe…

It's hard to answer with the information. Put a paper towel on it and see if it's oil, coolant, etc. A trip to the car will clean it off and make it easier to see.
