Dried antifreeze. I wouldn't worry about such a small amount. Put a hose clamp on that sucker and it should stop oozing.

Actually, all glycol based antifreeze will seep out like that.

The hose picture is only a overflow hose and it is not sealed.
It's nothing to worry about.

My only concern is to make shure it is not leaking out from under the cap.

maybe you should get the cap replaced under warranty . Could be defective .
