Clearing out a box of random cables, and I found a few HP-IL mice and various other stuff. BUT the cables are covered in an oily residue. No sign of a leaky battery or anything like that. Seems to be coming from the cable insulation itself. Has anyone else seen this kind of thing?

Please boost for reach !
