Looking for opinions on attached pic. Have found gummy antifreeze residue on the bolt in the pic on a regular basis. Not sure of the origins or if this is a serious issue to be addressed immediately. Thoughts?
The bolt is aft of the oil pan and appears to be part of the coolant system.
Thanks.

It looks like a small seepage from either the gasket or from the bolt head. It would not think it would turn into a bigger major leak or rupture. My advise would be to check/keep the coolant topped up and repair the seepage at next opportune maintenance.

In your pic it's a little tough to tell, but it looks like there might be a thin deposit of coolant on the bolt head above than one like it's dripping down from above. If that's not a photo illusion, and it's on the left side of the engine bay, you may have the fairly common hairline crack in your coolant tank which means it needs to be replaced. That's not too fun a job as you have to lower the motor some in order to have enough space to slide it out.
