Yeah, I thought that was odd too! The substance is leaking directly onto the Driver side 02 sensor and it DOES NOT smell like burning oil. I thought maybe brake fluid, but Z Car Garage does say it's oil. I could have mistaken valve seals for valve cover gaskets though, Ha!

oh, could a bad EGR cause valve cover gaskets to fail after a while?
