Hippos sweat pink goo because of how their bodies work. Also their skin.

The stuff they sweat out act a little as a natural sun screen, which helps protect their skin when they aren't submerged.

It's fairly similar to the waxy oils us human produce that makes our foreheads and noses look all shiny and sometimes block our pores.
