Weird foam dripping out of pool equipment and solidifying

[CanuckinTexas]

Hi - we are new pool owners - we spotted some beige/pink-ish foam forming around the bottom of some of the pipes of our equipment
it's like something is dripping out and then dries to a semi solid foam
the foam is forming between the main drain and the skimmer suction pipes

will post photos shortly

any help is appreciated - thank you!
