So I've seafoamed before, and I've had no issues... but I've noticed this time around that after putting seafoam in the vacuum ports on each rotor (correct amounts) there are small droplets of seafoam liquid coming somewhere from just above the front brace bar underneath the engine. (and no, I did not spill it or anything of that sort)
Is this something I should be worried about?

It's a very strange problem because there are no other leaks of any sort - oil, coolant, nothing!
All I can assume is that seafoam manages to seap through some of the seals... I'm just wondering if this is a common thing or if it's more of an isolated problem?
wow this is bad problem ur engine will dy verysoon not good sorry bro
I don't understand, how is this exactly a sign that my engine will be blown soon? There are absolutly no other fuels, oils, cooling, or anything else that's leaking... so if the vitals aren't going anywhere, why's is that a terrible sign?
Could there be a pin-hole in the delivery tube and some fluid squirted out?
When you removed the tube, did you let it hang downward so the remaining fluid in the tube just drained out?

it will flush through the engine and into the exhaust manifold/system. You may have a small leak at the exhaust manifold gasket. If you have a cat converter it should pour out the end of the exhaust manifold, assuming you were smart enough to unhook the cat pipe ....

I'm not entirely sure its coming from the exhaust, as it seemed to be coming more towards the center of the car (however, I do have a top mount turbo, so maybe you are still right about that?) It only leaked when when I crank it so the seafoam could get all around the engine...
Well I guess its nothing too serious? I hope anyway..

Maybe they were smart enough to know seafoam does not clog cats.

+1, I've never "unhooked" a catalytic converter. We run the crap out of GM top engine cleaner, which is way more potent then seafoam and it hasn't caused any issues.
In fact we let it sit in the engines for 2-3 hours.

My last car I owned from new, at 115k miles I replaced the cat with a high flow one. The original cat seen at least 10 seafoam treatments and it looked perfect.
