	It's oil that pooled in the intake manifold area.  You don't
	want to be NEAR the engine when it runs away!!!

	You don't want to push in the clutch!!!  Leave it in gear,
	and stomp on the brakes.  My experience is that when it
	happens on the expressway (only place for me), there's
	a fog behind you, and you swerve to avoid anyone ahead of
	you, and will full braking effort (metallic brakes), you're
	still accelerating faster than you can normally get the
	car to accelerate.  It's really exciting!
