The Ford Barn

Hi folks, just recently joined , this is my first official question. I've been in the process of doing some needed maintenance on my 1951 Ford f1. I recently put new temp senders on it, and temp guage seems to be working properly. Temp will rise abit if it's just idling, but come down if I rev it up some.

Anyway, this morning I removed the carb, so I could send it off to be rebuilt by Charlie NY. And I found this. See pics. I've never seen this before in all the time I have been running it trouble shooting stuff. I wont be able to run it now, but looking for some insight as to why this might have leaked over flowed from this spot. Bad thermostat? And now that I think of it, it could be just a worn/sloppy hose connection. Any other insight welcome. Thankyou.
