It can be anything. There are many materials in the car that can outgas "silicone" which is basically grease. Over time it can get to the motor which is the failure for this. To fail at 36k though it is probably assembly and they just added too much grease and migrated to the motor.
Probably a bad batch or something but not a lot of people get them.
