White splashing spots on engine bay

Opened up my hood and found some what's little splashes going on on the rights side of engine bay I know no clue what it's from tried wiping it off w. Paper towel and it smudges like chalk. It's a 2015 bmw 328xi n26 with 60000 miles

White residue is usually coolant, but yes, a pic would really help.

Coolant or windshield washer fluid? Is the cap for either reservoir/tank on the side where you're finding the white spots?

And when you write "right side" without any other perspective...we can't tell if you're referring to the passenger side or the driver's side...because you could be referring to as you look at the engine bay standing in front of the car...or is it your perspective from inside the vehicle based on the location of your steering wheel.

Please post a pic if you can.
