Strange color on driveway....

[MH9371B]

I was flushing my motor after a day out and it was the first time I had flushed it out on a driveway (normally done at the boat ramp). Anyway I noticed it left a bit of a stain on the driveway. Almost looked like the kind of stain you get on a sidewalk that has been sprayed with well water, but not that dark. Any ideas?<br /><br />1995 Mercruiser I/O 3.0LX 135HP

hahaahh probably<br /> that reminds me of when I was a teen. me and my roommate used to put oil drops under our nieghbors beemer just to see him squirm. he must have taken it in 10 times for that "oil" leak. then my dad caught us. the last service bill he paid cost me 400 dollars for the beemer dealer to chase a ghost. took me a month to pay it off but it was worth it. the neighbor was an arse

Rust in manifold. That sounds pleasant. Thanks.

Almost as funny as adding a gallon of gas to the car every so often, and listening to him brag about his fuel economy and then start siphoning out a gallon here and there. Drives em nuts. Or change the speedo gear with one a tooth off. 'Course you could do that before these newfangled computer cars.
