Is this normal on a LS1 with 19,565 miles?

After a while dust and grime just adhered to it and caused the nasty looking grime. If it were oil it would be much darker, and you would notice it makeing marks on your drive way or garage floor, but coolant in small ammounts will evaporate and leave almost no residue.

Yeah, you've got plenty of time left on your warrentee. If I were you, I'd check it out first. Whash the engine bay like he said, and keep tabs on it. My first thought when I saw the mess, was that whoever did your last oil change didn't do such a neat job, and only wiped it down as far as he could get his rag in there w/ out burning himself. I did that once on my old Eclips.

check your oil as much as possible before your next oil change...wipe it off and see if it returns and keep a close eye on it, mine has that too from lazy oil spillage but not that bad and its because i have 95k on the clock
