Any guess what this leak is?

Any guess what this leak is from:
I believe that pipe is the left intake pipe that is coming from the drivers side oil collection container.
The fluid does not look or feel like oil. I am headed to the track in a few day and wondering if I should take care of this first.

If I had to guess, based on where it is, crusty old coolant reservoir.

Should it be fixed before I track it again?

It's probably not going to leak any more than it is now, however, the hotter it gets more often, the worse it gets. Changing it probably isn't a bad idea. not a terribly difficult job, There is a DIY here somewhere if you search?

Thanks and thanks for the link. I have noticed the past few days when it has been near 90 and I am driving an little spirited, otherwise I don't see anything. Appreciate all your help.

Peace

If I were you I would get it fixed before going to the track and not risk dumping coolant on the track that could put you or someone else off.

Being fixed as we speak..would never want to put me or anyone else in danger at the track. Thanks again - everyone.
