Don't worry. It will fail when you need it the most.

Routers are not normally made with any liquids inside. There's some
liquid electrolyte in the electrolytic capacitors, but that's brown
colored. White or clear could be hot melt glue. Are you sure that
something else in your apparently messy room didn't drain *INTO* the
Senao AP?

>Should I contact Senao before my house becames a nuclear hazard?

Yeah. Calling support would give them a welcome change from the usual
questions found in the FAQ. It's not often one gets a call about a
leaky access point or nuclear meltdown.

Cell phone camera? Extracting the EXIF info.... Yep. Nokia 6131
That photo is as bad or worse than my cell phone camera. Get a real
digital camera.

I guess you mean the blue glow behind the front panel. Kinda looks
some of the slime left behind from various insect egg cases, but
there's way too much. Just open it up and see what it is. Also check
if something in your mess didn't pour *INTO* the access point.
