Have any of you guys seen a leak like this before? I'm not sure it's oil or what it is. I'm going to pull it in the garage tonight and clean it up and see if it comes back. I just changed my oil saturday so I hope I just spilled some or something idk where could a leak like this even come from?

Re: Leak on top of motor
Do a taste test for antifreeze (unless it's obviously oil). Do it where it's the wettest (no major pun intended). Do this before any cleaning. Or if it's too late, wait for it to come back, then test.
*Check coolant level. *Check for a puddle of AF under the intake. *And check the t-stat box for dampness. This includes using a mirror and a light on the backside. Do a good job, a pinhole leak scatters rather well.

Okay great to know. Unfortunatly I cleaned it before I read that. So I'll keep my eye on it the next week and let you guys know if it comes back. Could it maybe something to do with the Pcv valve?

Re: Leak on top of motor
A taste test? Are you serious?

Re: Leak on top of motor
Yes, really. He doesn't know what it is, it's near the right spot for a t-stat housing leak, and he's not going to die tasting a speck of antifreeze or for that matter, anything else under there. A 10 second confirmation/exclusion of what's leaking.
