Had my s2 out today and running couple mins and few mins after i discovered one the twin kenlowe fans i have had like water on it which when i touched left clamy feeling on my skin as if coolant was present and the water wasa golden sort of colour. Anyway this was only on the right hand fan and was also on the fan wiring a bit underneath the intercooler. Anyone throw any light on this? I wondered if my rad is leaking, but then how would it get onto the fan and not everywhere else.
My first initial thought which i quickly diminished when i thought no how silly to think was has the fan hubs got a kinda lubircation oil inside them and its leaked. But then the fans hadnt come on at all anyway.
Help

Does the car breathe to atmosphere? running a dump valve? checked the turbo oil seals? i.e oil smoking up on the downpipe.
Souds like oil vapour from one source or another condensing more visibly in shitty weather and damp...weird it's only on one fan though.

adduk- lol, eeewwww i was touching and sniffing it lol
adam- im running a breather pot mate, are u thinking it may come from the intercooler then? I really cant understand where its come from to only be on one fan and on the wiring. Ive never had this before and have had the car running a few times. Dont think i had anything smoking u mate, pretty sure i didnt.
