Name That Mystery Fluid

DETRoadster · 06-10-2017, 12:27 PM

Need some help, folks. I pulled the belly pan off to install my new catted DP and discovered this all over the steering rack assembly. It's slightly tacky with a hard "shell" or skin formed over the top. Break through the skin and its gooey beneath. No signs of it dripping onto the underside of the pan. Maybe some sort of assembly goo? It looks like grease but does not feel like it. That's what's throwing me.

Looks like something has melted onto that
