dribblings

Small amounts leaking

Dribblings are small amounts of liquid that drip or trickle out slowly.

The word often describes the last bits of liquid from a container or tap, or residue that escapes in drops rather than a steady flow: She collected the dribblings from the roast to make gravy.

It can also refer to saliva that escapes the mouth, particularly with infants or the infirm.
