    Default Yellow goo extruding from thermostat hose into intake

    I noticed this morning a weird yellow goo, it is not oily or sticky, coming from the hose that comes from the thermostat into the intake manifold and which I believe is the banjo bolt. I have attached a picture. I am worry it is something very bad, like oil mixing with coolant. Coolant bottle looks clean and oil looks fine. Any ideas?

    Thanks.
