    Oil in the radiator area?

    For whatever reason the pictures are displaying horizontally. After having removed the under tray for an oil change, i have noticed an oily build-up around 2 pipes going towards the radiator. Has anyone got any idea what causes that and needs to be done about it? Thanks in advance
