Yes that was in the post terminal area of this unit as well, felt and behaved a lot like silicone but I got most of it out just to see what was in there at least half of it was removed when they refurbished it..
The underside of Marine Corps 5-Tons and the SeaBees especially have the entire bottom of their trucks sprayed with something that looks and feels like silicon. I don't know for sure what it is, but everything - axles, transmissions, bottom of the motor and half way up the sides has that coating. Seems to work for them in salt water conditions.
Of course, if @HDN would print you something with his 3D printer, that would be easier if you need repairs later...
