<br>is it sticky? does it smell? does it have a color?
<div><br></div><div>I guess the first thing to think is what "should" be inside of a piece of electronic equipment - 1) Deoxit - has anyone cleaned contacts recently? 2) flux - but there's no reason why there should be THAT much flux in there from soldering connections, so that's out. 3) is there some sort of protective coating they put on the board? again, there's no good reason (of which I know) why they'd do that, but i'm just saying it's possible. A la roland voice chips.... stupid, but it's been done before. 4) is there a a transformer/regulator or the such that has a fluid that acts as a heatsink? usually that'd be a white/cream color, and not so "fluid" but that's the only cream/oil i could see being inside. 5) is there adhesive to hold the front panel or other accoutrements on? maybe that adhesive became liquid for somesuch reason.</div>
<div><br></div><div>because it looks like you've got something leaking out rather than in, i'd bet my left cajone that it's moisture. Otherwise, it'd have to get in somehow to be able to get out, and if there's no clear way of that happening, it doesn't make any sense at all. I've already had a fedex truck have an oil spill in the back of a truck (yep - that's right) but your box would most likely be destroyed (and you said it's fine).</div>
<div><br></div><div>long story short, if you can't find something INSIDE the piece of gear that would be leaking that fluid, it has to be moisture/gas/etc or has to have leaked in somehow. past that, the closest thing I can think of is to contact analogue haven and maybe they can point you in the direction of the manufacturer (still in business?) or someone that knows the machines. </div>
