Hi, if the liquid is coming out from her genital area, it could either be an infection (very common in older female dogs that have not been neutered) or if your dog is young could be juvenile vaginitis. She is grooming the area in order to keep it clean, I would not worry about this. I would recommend to have your dog checked over as is she has an infection she will need treatment ASAP. Hope all goes well.
