This can't be good... (green residue around exhaust joint)
I'm pretty sure I already know what's going on but I wanted to tap the collective knowledge here to make sure...
Since the engine is already out of the car and at the rebuilder, I decided to finally getting around to replacing my exhaust from the header back. When I got to the axle back section, I noticed a green residue at the exhaust joint near the diff. I haven't gotten the exhaust off yet because dealing with those farking hangars with a sprained wrist is annoying.
I never had significant amount of white "smoke" out of the tail pipes (beyond what you usually get during Chicago winters). I did have an issue with coolant coming out of the overflow tube during hard romps but just figured it was from overfilling.
So, coolant seal failure?

Can I use a plasma cutter?
I have a cat'd midpipe and Tanabe catback going in so I don't really need the pipe.

nap, i mean taking it apart in tact, as in two useable pieces. i think its impossible. i really doubt that **** on the pipe has anything to do with coolant
