First Engine Bay Inspection

[Mauiboxster]

So I have opened up the engine bay and it looks very clean. A lot of dust but nothing to dirty.

I notice a lot of hydralic fuild on the top of the cap where is says to fill. some of it look kind of fresh and it was very sticky. Should I get it looked at?
I cleaned the area really good to see if it comes back...I was thinking maybe when they topped it off last time it could have spilled.
Any comments?

That's the power steering pump. They could have not tighten it down full and some oil was blown out. Mine was dirty to. I taped in plastic around my engine cover hole. Then sprayed a can of engine degreaser on it, then washed it off with a water hose. Looks great now.

The dirty spot on the Boxster is under the car -- in front of the rear wheel about halfway across the car. That is where the rear main seal (RMS) will leak oil.
