What fluid is this? splatter in my engine bay - pics
as per attachments - friends seem to think my ABS brake fluid is leaking - brakes feel fine and the master cylinder is full - feels kind of like engine oil on my finger but I'm not too mechanical -
Is this a standard amount of build up for an engine bay - been about 10,000km's since last service.... Thoughts? - will be getting it checked, just don't want it to lose brakes on me. |

Maybe the last person that did your oil change tipped the funnel over and made a mess all over. seems plasable since its around the filler cap

What does the inside of the hood look like right above the fan & belts?
It looks like oil being flung by the belt. Feel the back of the crank pulley and see if it is dirty back there. |

I think it could just be the engine dress up (silicone?) spray that dealers love to use on new cars. Maybe you had an over-zealous pre delivery guy and he went nuts on the spray....

Did you try wiping it and seeing if it returns?
