[QUOTE="shiroitenshi, post: 1064680974, member: 27518"] could be something else. but if it's not oil, then it's the wax thermostatic element inside the car thermostat (I think all car uses this type, but maybe got some exceptions). That's why if it feels like wax, it's from the thermostat internals, probably leaked due to age and corrosion. I don't think engine temps run hot enough to melt thermostats. Otherwise, its usually from the sealant mechanics apply when installing waterpump. I think the sealant would be recognisable if it was sealant. The alternatives are... someone put something in the coolant? [/QUOTE]
