Hello
You should get it checked by your operating surgeon. May be the routine oozing from the wound as occurs after the surgery.

You should consult your doctor and get a check dressing done.
This can happen due to blood oozing out from the surgical site.
It is normal to have some oozing but if it is continuous, need to rule out the possibility of hematoma/serous collection at the surgical site.
Next Steps
Better to get a check dressing done.
