Depending on what it looks like, besides the obvious ethylene glycol. Probably is oxidation. Sounds like you need some new plugs & wires.

its a fuel additive. When I used to live up north Id get it. I can't remember the brand but I think we had alot of Mobil gas.

Try another brand.

If its fouling your plugs then its something else.

EDIT_
We often used the words 'oxidation' and 'rust' interchangeably, but not all materials which interact with oxygen molecules actually disintegrate into rust. In the case of iron, the oxygen creates a slow burning process, which results in the brittle brown substance we call rust. When oxidation occurs in copper, on the other hand, the result is a greenish coating called copper oxide. The metal itself is not weakened by oxidation, but the surface develops a patina after years of exposure to air and water.

Corrosion, Oxidation, basically on the same plane.
