Where are you located? I know western Washington gets that stuff, I think it is moss.

could be coolant,if seen around gaskets.

Try hitting it with some bleach and then rinse it off.

Are there pictures of dead presidents in it??
Maybe it's the 'Oldsmobile Holy Grail'!!

Thats the one --bleach should do it .Probably an algae -wouldn`t be too concerned until it jumps over and starts growing on you .

keep it running "a rolling stone gathers no moss " as they say
