Mystery oil spot on cab floor
This is on my Chevy Express 4500 van Class C cab.
I had oil residue in the seam between the rubber floor and the entry molding, on the driver side. Photo below. In the photo I had already wiped it clean. The high point was at the left of the highlighted area, and it stopped at a low point under the seat where the seat attachment bolt is.
It had spread up on the rubber floor about a half inch, the way that oil typically will spread. It might have been there quite a while and I never noticed. There were a few dead bugs and other debris.
It was not water. It was oil. Well, it could be brake fluid, but it felt like oil. And it's not a diesel engine, either.
So I have a mystery. I don't carry oil or fluids there. The engine compartment is pristine. I took photos around the drivers side if anyone needs proof. :) I mean, it is squeaky clean. Same thing under the dash. It only has 15K miles. Maybe some oil change tech did it, I suppose.
Can you think of any mechanical reason for it to get there?
