#1.. looks like motor oil to me, but I can't really tell you.. try to clean it off with some engine cleaner or super clean. if it comes back, THEN worry about it. :)

#2. that's your ignition coil.. it's the device that veeds the high voltage course to your distributor.. don't touch the business end of that thing when the car is running or ignition is on.. unless you want to get ZAPPED!

3. I dunno. :)

1. Pssibly Brake Fluid or Oil

2. Your COIL WITHOUT a Cover on it (It should have one!!)

3. It might be, look closer and check it out.
