Mystery Fluid?
I was looking under the hood tonight when I noticed on the passenger side intake on the gasket there was a shiny substance on the intake manifold gasket on the passenger side on the exhaust port. It doenst smell like oil or coolant. Not very much of it, I wiped it off with my finger but I got no idea what this is. Anyone have any ideas. A little history the intake is a edelbrock 2101 and I swapped the gaskets 2 months ago.
Thanks

Sometimes oil will come around the intake bolts. You may want to put some locktite on the threads and see if it comes back...

No ac. Running 50/50 coolant. Will try the dopper and see if it lites up.

Sodium silicate will look shiny or glycerin will also.
