White crystalline deposit on the side of car

Yesterday I noticed a wide trail of white crystalline deposits down the side of the car, looking to originate from the fuel filler, down over the wheel arch and the rear side.
Looking inside the filler cap there was lots more, it wasn't there on Saturday when I refuelled.
My guess is that it must be something to do with the adblue, it wasn't an oily diesel trail, but I have now had the car for a couple of months/ couple thousand miles, and no new adblue has been added, so can't be due to just over filling, never seen anything like this before, the service menu still thinks there is about 13k miles before fill up required.
Any ideas what this can be?
Thanks

white crystaline is how AdBlue dries, so it does sound like that
