First post and question about leaks

[fer_eclipse]

Hi everyone!

I'm Fernando, from Argentina. First of all, I would like to say that English isn't my native language, so I apologize for any grammar mistake, I'll do my best!

This is my first post so, before asking you about leaks, I would like to show you my car. It's a '95 2G DSM, completely stock except for the xenon front lights. 39.000 miles, never crashed, 0 scratches.

Ok, so before touching or doing any mod to my car, I'd like to check if everything is working as it should. This morning I opened the hood and saw some leaks near the throttle body and other in the valve cover:

I know you have a lot of experience on DSM so here's my question: are these leaks something to worry about? What can I do to prevent it?

Thank you very much!

Leaks under the valve cover could just be a bad valve cover gasket. The guy before me used RTV and did a bad job, and that leaks. Not too sure about the 2g throttle bodies, but I know the 1g throttle bodies are water cooled. Look for coolant lines (maybe someone else can help out here) and check if they're leaking (if it has them). BTW. Nice car, very clean looking!

Agree on the coolant possibly being the issue. Does it feel like oil or coolant?
