Follow-up/update:

Thanks to the generosity of Ed (ehljags), there was a chemical analysis done on the "dark honey stuff" under my car -- shown in the photos above.

Bottom line, no oil present. Basic composition in line with a preservative (like Cosmoline) - Jeff nailed it!

So you can now consider these to be decent reference photos of aged Cosmoline...
