Possible problem ( see picture )

HI Guys,

Today I noticed oil on this part ( sorry I don't even know what exactly is the part ) but I doesn't look normal at all. Is it normal or something is wrong ? thanks in advance and btw its not a picture of my actual motor ( I dont have my camera )

Do you do your own oil changes? Maybe someone spilled alittle oil and it happened to land there. Or some dripped off your dipstick after checking your oil?

Clean the oil off and see if it comes back. I have my money on someone spilling a little oil.

It's the ABS hydraulic unit / control module - that's a mouthful

That part is the ABS brake module as RX8cited pointed out, you damn well don't want any oil leaks there.
Does the oil feel like brake fluid?? Brake fluid feels weird, kind of slippery and warm to the touch.
Keep us informed.
