I've done about 180 miles since picking up the car. Looked in the engine bay for the first time and noticed a green sticky substance on both sides of the engine. Is this coolant? I can't see an obvious leak source and the coolant level is at full still. Anyone else noticed anything similar?

Looks like the protective grease they put on the GT86 to protect it during transport
 
Thanks for the heads up Mike. Had a quick Google and it seems there was quite a bit of debate with the old car of whether to clean it off or not.
 
Yep anti corrosion grease. You'll even find it on the inside of your wheels as it's sprayed on right at the end of production. 👍
 
When I picked up my car - i was specifically told not to clean this stuff off by the dealer.

Apparently a detailer had done so on another customer car and caused some issues?
