The Cryptic Writing On The Wall

Puzzling Asked on June 11, 2021

The goal is simple: solve the cryptic clues to get a Only-Connect wall, consisting of 16 words, which then must be grouped into 4 groups of 4 words each sharing a common property.

Investigate the beginnings of combinatorics (4) Clean the dirty leader Donald Trump around us (4) Learn muddled stream (6) Look for StackExchange curve (6)
A dove-cat confuses lawyer (8) Domestic animal behind vehicle that lies on the floor (6) Source of life; for example, great leader (3) Overflow cuisine, around fifty (5)
Wild fleas know small piece of ice (9) Talented metalloid returning in America (6) Notice broken post (4) Option: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and ice (6)
DNA, mouse or producer (9) Tart is crazy painter (6) Bunch of steps reportedly gaze at the situation (9) A fruit begins life in modern Europe (4)

Also, this is my first try at cryptic-clues, so I welcome feedback!
