Engine has about 85 hours on it and over the last few flights I've noticed a pink residue on the gearbox.  I think it's coolant that's leaking from the expansion tank but I can't determine where exactly, perhaps from the one of the hoses connections.

Anyone see this before?

    Chris,

    Is that the actual color of the fluid or did you do something to 'enhance' the color for descriptive purposes (perhaps digitally enhanced)

    Dexcool in my experience is more 'orange' in color and is more translucent...

    What airframe are you mounted on? Tractor or pusher?

    How about the location of the cowling, cowling openings in relation to where this is presenting? (Pics of your flyin contraption)
