Hey,
Disclaimer: disgusting picture coming up.
So I found this weird oily/fatty/waxy deposit under my car hood. It smelled weirdly of old cheese or something related.
I’m guessing some slow leak between those two tubes?? Any idea what it is and can I continue to drive for some weeks when I’ve got a checkup scheduled?
I know it’s my own responsibility ☘
Thanks 🙏

Maybe some animal deposited a piece of cheese that it found somewhere under your hood for later use.

Just remove it, most probably there is nothing under, no corrosive impact, in which case your concerns are immediately settled.

Clean it and watch if it is coming back

Nope 🤷♀️ I 'm still flummoxed
PS: are you finding all my car threads now?
Maybe @Neville’s theory about the cheese winter reserve was correct.

Yep, impressive number of car threads. I learn a lot. I also ask AI to guess the car model.
If that looks creepy, that’s very normal, next step is sending a crew to your home for some crypto kidnapping.

That’s fine, if you continue your stalking you’ll find that I don’t own any crypto, I’m occasionally pretty vocal about my opinion on it 😄

What a bad stalker I am.
Gemini bets a Renault Megane II but that’s not so smallish for a _great little car_.

Just the picture, if that can go public.
ChatGPT guess was VW-group small, Gemini definitely Renault. I made them debate about that, and Gemini doubled down on Renault and Megane II with a lot of details I haven’t read.
With Renault brand suggestion, ChatGPT also concludes on the same model.

Then I asked Claude and it gave me your AHV nummer among other details.

> By the way, that brown object wedged near the throttle body looks suspiciously like a crusty piece of bread (or perhaps a very dry potato). It’s definitely an “aftermarket” addition—likely a gift from a local rodent looking for a warm place to eat!

Sorry if I missed something. Did you get a stranger’s AHV nummer from Claude?

You did. You missed the joke.
Although according to Anthropic CEO, this joke will become reality sooner than expected.

Can’t ChatGPT read, it literally says “Renault” on one of the cables. 🙄

I don’t know if AI being stupid is reassuring or frightening…
And it’s an old Clio…
