Is this a coolant leak?
Hi all, just wondering if any of you have seen this. I don't even know what to call the area, but if you're facing the front of the car and looking at the engine, it is on the right side, under where the oil cap is. Is this the valve cover area?
Other side seems cleaner
Thanks!

(no it’s not a coolant leak)

Awesome reply.
OP - it is much more likely to be just some water droplets that got past the radiator (especially considering that it is on both sides of the engine). Driving on the highway in relatively heavy rain or slush or taking your car through a car wash are much more likely culprits.
