Very interesting. I have the same brown goo seeping through the paint on  
Stargazers cabin overhead in a few places, mostly in the curve between the top  
and the sides. I painted the inside of the cabin a few years ago with good, oil 
 based gloss, and this stuff oozed right through it. When I first saw it, I  
assumed we had sprayed some tomato sauce when cooking, though I didn't 
remember  that happening. Then I started to see the stuff in places far from the 
galley. I  assumed it was some component of the masonite liquifying and oozing 
out. There  is not much, and I wasn't concerned, and hadn't given it much thought 
until this  thread appeared. Interesting..........:)
