It's probably just dirty diesel fuel that's leaking from the injector. Usually it's either from the return hoses or the nut that secures the metal fuel line to the injector.

Mine had a little puddle around each injector. The braided return lines seemed a little moist so I replaced them all after cleaning the injector wells, tightened down the hard lines and the puddling has not returned.
