If it's oil, it's likely coming up through the threads in the intake bolt. This. Seen it many times. Put some liquid thread sealant on intake bolts.

Looks like gasoline to me, and I see a trail leading down to it.

Been twisting wrenches for over 50 years, mostly on Mopars. this is typically oil following the intake bolt threads up and pooling in the intake. A little sealer on the intake bolts is all you need.
Clean it, if it's Dirty. Oil it, if it Squeaks.
But: Don't fix it, if it Works!

I had same thing and it was accelerator pump gasket on Holley. Looks just like oil after most of the gas evaporates. This, from my experience, Mopar and others. Always fixed by finding the fuel source. I've never used sealant on intake bolts.

I put some silicon on the threads. NEVER !!! You pull out those bolts and you've got bits of that sh!t falling down into the engine.

ya, I think you guys are right about the gas. I see little stains all over the intake now. The carb had been gone through not that long ago but maybe our Chicago gas has killed it again. I hadn't put my fingers in the goo until yesterday, it's somewhat sticky, though it still does a pretty good job mimicking oil!
