Throw something underneath your car overnight like a cardboard box(collapsed) with glad wrap to see if there actually is a leak of some sort... then if there is get the awesome dudes on here who actually know something(ie not me) to tell you what it is.

I wouldn't worry about it until you know what it is though.

If it's an auto and this is another torque converter seal grrrrr (doesn't sound like it though)

The left hand side of the car's body kit? As in, underneath of the car or the actual exterior of the car?
Take a quick photo for us now and post it up please.

It's not melted double-sided tape or speaker punch-net mounting goo??

As above, post pics

what will b safe to clean it off with ? it destroys a sponge

Looks like some horrible tar residue you've picked up off the road somewhere. Perhaps some tar and gunk remover could be used, given a good soaking and then washed off with some disposable cloths as not to destroy your nice sponges.

Either way its gone be one shitty job seeing as you'll be doing it lying down

Yikes that's nasty...

You should be able to get under the car to see if there's more of that above the skirt - if so, you might want to take the skirt off and clean the whole lot down.

For removal, get yourself some citrus cleaner or spray, you can get it from any supermarket. Use some old rags you don't mind throwing away and don't skimp on the cleaner - you'll need LOTS to break that much gunk down...
