What excess AdBlue produces on the bodywork

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: AdBlue warning light

We must be very careful when topping up the AdBlue, because while it is true that keeping the tank too empty causes the urea to crystallize inside (meaning that the excess air inside promotes crystallization), it is also true that letting the urea come out of the cap, causing it to fall on the bodywork, causes not permanent damage but still an unpleasant residue that sticks to the bodywork. In fact, in the video, we see the residue of a top-up that has leaked from the cap, and has stained the entire side of the car, up to the tires. When it drips, we don't notice it because it is transparent, but then it crystallizes, so we must remove it immediately with a cloth and a little water: perhaps it doesn't damage the bodywork, but it is really unsightly to see.
