I have the same thing-- found it when I pulled my radio out a while back to fix it.

I thought the oil line entered the cabin closer to the instrument pod than the radio. Am I wrong? Does oil sometimes squirt all the way over there?

I figured the ACC pods sucked oil into themselves at some earlier point and then released it when they dissolved.

It was Sunday's task to clean the lines and make sure the problem isn't ongoing, but the weather was too nice and I relaxed instead

I think I'll track down some small clear tubing I can install in key spots so I can see if I've still got oil migrating around in there. And to make future inspections easier.
