Sean, I've noticed the same thing happens on my cars when I have them stored in a cold garage for the winter. I'm not sure what it is, antifreeze, condensation, oils seeping out of the hoses????? It all disappears once I start driving them again. I get it on the radiator hoses sometimes too.

My car has been sitting for a few months, and both heater hoses are very shiny and slick. It is like I completely covered them with oil. It rubs off on my fingers when I touch it--it might be antifreeze, I can't tell. Both hoses were put on new this past fall, and I never put anything on them, such as Armor All, etc. What is causing this? The radiator hoses are fine. Thanks, Sean
