Is this normal? C43 AMG engine Bay
hi guys,
im looking to purchase a c43 & after inspecting it I found this, it looks like an oily residue? is this something that normally happens? Should I be worried? What causes this to happen?
Thanks in advance

Did you actually inspect in person or are you only going off of this picture? I'm not sure if it's actually there or just a poor quality picture, but there looks to be some wipe marks/streaks on the engine cover coming down from the oil cap. Looks like a lazy tech performed an oil change, spilled during refill and didn't clean up after himself. The gold/honey color indicates fresh, unused oil, so I doubt it's a leak.

i actually did inspect the vehicle in person and when I asked the salesman he told me it’s a bit of oil, it happens to a lot of there cars so obviously he has no idea. I initially thought that maybe because of pressure the oil leaked out of the cap and wanted to know if something like that was normal. Anyways thanks for the reply I’m sure it was pure laziness
btw is that the brake fluid? Lol
