I've had my car for a year now and ever since I bought it there has been this residue of coolant that I guess backs up where the hoses are clamped. It seems like it's slowly getting worse. It backs up very slowly and just dries up and only does this on the ends where it connects to the engine, not the end that connects to the radiator, for example. What worries me is that the fresh coolant seems to be dripping onto other hoses and wires and starting to eat away at them. I have to clean it all up every few weeks. Does anyone know why this happens?

My Specs:
- 97 GSX
- stock turbo
- Boost Controller
- BOV
- Catback Exhaust
- NGK Platinum Plugs(don't know if this makes a difference)
