Hello all, I was wondering if anyone has experienced a brown gooey substance oozing from the fiberglass body panel on the lower rear of the MH. I have washed and waxed it several times and it reappears. Any ideas??

Sorry, can't help with the oozing but I did noticed you are using Bead Balance.
Do you find the cost of the beads worth it?

I had the same thing and it turned out it was condensation from the dip stick tube.

Can you show us a picture? My rear cap appears to be one piece; hard to imagine where something would be coming from.

I'll try to take a few pics. The oozing looks like small pores coming through the fiberglass, just above the bumper on the passenger side. Thanks for the reply.

Looks like Undercoating weeping through from behind the furnace panel. Think this would be a steel panel and not fiberglass.
A magnet would answer that question.
