So, you are saying that the “potting material” is melting out of the back of the powerpack and dripping onto the engine.  Battery voltage input into the pack might be high, bad ground, something like that.  Most likely just degradation from age.  My guess is the pack will probably fail soon, but there is no harm in running it this way, just confirm battery/input voltage is normal.
