The end of the AC adapter that plugs into my iBook has broken at one of the indentations on the semi-rigid section of the cord. Green stuff seems to be seeping out. I don't know what it is. It doesn't seem to have a smell. Corrosion released fluids? The end result of a non-working "Charging" indicator? (My adapter ring only glows green.) There also seems to be a little bit on the indentation on the opposite side. I don't think I have anything nearby that could have gotten into it from the outside, also, I don't see any of the substance anywhere else on the plug; just the indentation.
What is this? (P.S. I just got a new battery (the one used in the iBook G4—the feet don't match).

Well, it hasn't been dunked. As I mentioned before, I see no signs of residue anywhere else. Also, it's been in in my room the whole time. It's just very weird…
