Subwoofer leaking red liquid?

Thanks to all for your help. It seems like the Loctite suggestion makes the most sense. After looking on the bottom of the subwoofer, it seems that there was some gooey red residue on a couple of the screw. I guess it overheated at some point and melted the glue. Thanks again.

The amp and all is in the same box as the sub, isn't it? Perhaps it is something relating to the electronics in there? Though still...even when caps blow and all, there's really only enough liquid to crystallize on the top... You could try to open the sub up, but typically they are sealed to help with bass ports and all...

well actually they are solids when its not heated up, but in excess heated enviroments, the substance melts and becomes like a viscus gel
