What is this Component?

Can anyone tell me what this is? I replaced my belt, and then pushed her really hard to see if she would make any squeaking noises. She did not make any squeaking noises but her engine was HOT. Well, actually 195-220 is supposedly the normal operating temperature. But, she hovers around 210. Also I managed to squeeze some type of liquid out, I didn't taste it but i rubbed it on my fingers.. and it felt like water. 10 minutes later I came down, and I confirmed it was water because it was had all evap'd off this circled component.

What Am I?

Can I make the assumption that this isnt a picture of your WK?

Any Idea when the last time the coolant was flushed and changed?

@ Matt - What would cause it to look wet. With what I assume to be water. I checked it again today and it was fine, it looked 'normal' (no water or condensation on it).

@ Dan Coolant is full and radiator working - It appears 210 is just how hot this thing likes to run.

The same thing that makes a cold beer look wet.... atmospheric moisture condenses on it.

Nothing to worry about.

Good to hear.

Update: I discovered the axle boot on the right was bad and Rotors need to be replaced: Total 420 bucks. But it's done - She's running almost as smooth as the WK. (for now!)
