It could be antifreeze leaching through the hose, but MAKE SURE your hose clamps are tight, it could just be leaking around the fitting.

I had the same goo on my repro heater hoses that were sitting out on the counter. It has nothing to do with any fluid running through them. It seems to be some type of byproduct of the production process...sort of like the outgassing you get from plastic interior panels that makes a new car smell like a new car. Only in this case it's a gross slime that only lacquer thinner or brake cleaner can remove.

well, this don't happen on my car hoses, but it happens every winter to my air compressor hose.
have to clean it every spring with wax & grease remover.

There's no fluid in my smog hose https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif It's my own fault for trying to spiff the old hoser with vinylex! I didn't have this problem b4 I swiped the hose, and the other smog hose is fine - I could kick myself, but.... that would only increase the pain https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I used to notice my hoses & tires would sweat on certain high humidity days during storage throughout the Fall & Winter,so I soon put a few inches of moisture barrier down on the cement floor directly underneath the entire car.I even put a 11"X 24" wood plank under each tire,and as of yet have not seen anything sweat yet. http://www.benzo.org.uk/images/bzswt.gif

I had the same problems with my heater hoses AND the hose from the washer solvent bottle to the wiper motor. And I never treated the hoses with Armorall etc.
