drippage

Accumulated drip residue

Drippage is the act or process of dripping, or the liquid that drips.

The word appears in technical contexts—measuring fluid loss, describing condensation, or documenting leaks: Check the pan for drippage.

It can also refer to the accumulated drippings themselves: Clean up any drippage before it stains.
