From the Google english translation of the Spanish site, it sounds like an overflow from one of the Fuel Tank Vents, the NACA ducts under the wings near the tips.

An overflow such as this occurs if the fuel limit switch doesn't close the fuel valve when the tank is full (i.e. either component fails) - and is one reason passengers are told not to walk under the wing whilst boarding/disembarking.
