Might I have an oil leak?

I saw what looks on my linear rails at the upper right corner. Any ideas?

The linear rails and so forth need to have a bit of oil on them — this will inevitably run off if not wiped away.

I just put a rag on top of a foam block which I put underneath the Z-axis carriages of my machines which don’t have a gas strut (on my SO5 Pro which has a gas strut I just put a rag underneath the Z-axis when I park it after use).

Thanks! You have reminded me that at some point I’ll need to perform maintenance (oil the rails) on this machine. I’ve run it for a total of about 8 hours at this point since putting it together.
