1998 Ford Mustang 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

there is a strange yellow mustard colored i guess you can call it a liquid coming from the engine to the cars air breather. i have no idea what this is for i have never come across it before. it has just the faintest hint of coolant but why on earth would it be coming from the engine to the air filter? it almost has an oily consistancey but its watery at the same time. what is this where is it coming from and how do i fix it

sounds to me like it can be a intake manifold leak causing the coolant to evaporate when the engine is off and trying to find its way out it gets to the air cleaner and condenses.
