Yup what I was afraid of

Some inside the cowl below the carb/air intake also there was some blue streaking on the wheels pant which would collaborate with your comment on blue stain. And yes it was on the outside as well

Hey guys wonder if you have any advice for me? I was out flying my Cessna 150 this evening. After flying I noticed what appeared to be condensation on the nose gear strut so I took a closer look and it was also covering most of the lower engine area. Just a light moisture coating... weird and...
