What Causes Sticky Fluid Substance On Scalp?

My husband has had a clear, sticky fluid leaking out of his lower scalp. There was a day or 2 that it wasn t there, but now has come back. There is little to no sign of irritation on the scalp, just weird fluid stuff. No complaints of any real pain. Wondering what this may be.
