It appears that the globular drops are on another strut or two also.
(The strut in the foreground appears to have a few blobs.)

Again, it pays to flip the above photo 180 degrees because it is
upside down.
For comparison, here again are the photos compared prior regarding
the large increasing set of blobs:

It is still odd the globs only appear in a few specific places. I
still think this may indicate leaks or spills from the chemical
analysis areas. It will be interesting to keep an eye out for
further growth though.
