SLIMING (5 letters) The term 'oozing out' can be described by two crossword solutions: exuding (7 letters) and sliming (5 letters). Exuding is the process of emitting a substance, such as sweat or oil, from the body or from a surface. Sliming is the act of covering something with a slimy substance, usually for the purpose of making it slippery or difficult to handle. Both terms describe the process of a substance slowly and steadily flowing out of an object or organism.
