okay, so i was checking my fluids today (oil, what have you) and i went to look at my coolant, and like usual, it is a tad low. about 3k ago i changed my radiator, which didnt fix my leak, but greatly slowed it down. anywho, i filled up my reserve, and checked the level in the radiator and found a nice bead of crap around the top tank seam.

ive never seen anything like it before, it was a yellow/green color, had an oil-esque smell, and had the consistency of warm butter. My father, who had been a honda tech for all his life didnt know what it was, just told me to wipe it off and see if it comes back. any ideas what it is?

my first thought it was from me going to a dry lake bed and the dust and crap coming up and mixing with the coolant. but i have always checked the top tank after i changed it to make sure it was never leaking there, but all of a sudden it is.

ideas?
