2.5 years of use and I’ve just spotted a white residue around the thermostat port, wasn’t there a month ago

I’ve contacted the installer, a fitter got back to me and said there’s  nothing to worry about it’s just a glue residue that sometimes develops.  To confuse things, a higher up in the firm emailed me saying it isn’t right and that I should contact Mitsubishi.

Clearly this isn’t helpful and I will be contacting them again when business is open.  Before then I’d like to be as informed as possible.  Could anyone shed some light on this? Thanks in anticipation

This is likely thread sealant for the pocket plug, very easy fix if it starts oozing out, unless you get an actual leak it is probably fine, what you could do is ask the installer to remove the white trim cover cap and just make sure the joint is not leaking into the insulation.
