Teewhy,
Have you by chance topped up the engine oil lately, you may have split some on the compressor at that stage and did not notice it. If this is not the case I don't know of any where else it may have come from

except by capillary action from a loose 710 cap!!

Cheers Ray

A leaking AC compressor will tend to leave an oil spray mark on the inside of the engine lid.
