If you engine oil is normal I suggest you clean all that gunk off, wipe it really clean, then keep an eye on it to see if it starts to come back. At that point I will probably be easier to see what's leaking and from where.

I saw this post two days ago and looked at the picture and thought >>>Yuck!I just got back from some wheelin offroad and did my normal inspection routine.
Dammit!!! My 2008 JK Rubi looks EXACTLY like that.
Some yellow/orange/brown crusty crud in the same spot. And I only have 11k miles on mine (Not my DD.)

and the winner is....... water pump!
I took it to the dealership (still under warranty) and they blamed/replaced the water pump.
So, I'll have to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't build up again.
Thanks for the help, guys!

Mine looks exactly like yours did, possibly a bit worse. I checked my radiator coolant level and it is still full. I noticed that the radiator coolant is an ugly pinkish color...Weird. I was expecting to see green.
