coolant reservoir with a hose connection that needs attention
If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue

^ What he said! I suggest replacing all the coolant hoses in one go. I just ordered a full kit from CA tuned for a great price and a lifetime warranty:

It's odd that the residue from that seepage has that brown color to it. Typically dried up coolant in the m60 has a white/green powdery look to it.

Hose developed micro tears inside where clamp edges are. Tune to replace. That is coolant residue

I put a UV dye in it not too long ago to check for leaks, so that may be it!

Coolant system is a closed system.. It is leaking. Fix it now or cry later. Additionally if you don't know the age of the coolant system then it's time to replace everything.. Water pump rad thermostat hoses... You have Been warned. Good luck

The brown residue is just from corrosion of the clamp, the hose degrading, and coolant leakage. I’d recommend replacing all the rubber coolant hoses if they’re old.
