That's normal for one of these cars. Probably seaping from the thermostat housing gasket under the slight pressure that a closed radiator will cause during outside temperature fluctatuations. Whenever one of my cars is sitting for a while I crack the radiator cap open and leave a rag over it (so I remember it's not closed) and that removes the cause of the seapage.

That's what my grandfather said, which was a huge relief. Just tired of seeing stuff that isn't positive.
