As there are no moving parts to an absorption fridge there is no oil used.
Food section has a drip pan under fins which connects to a drain hose that goes down backside of fridge in outside compartment.
Dometic typically runs that hose to lower vent.
Norcold typically directs it to a drain pan which usually evaporates the condensation.
Other than the drain hose/pan.......ice maker water supply or roof vent leaking.
Inspect outside compartment for evidence/signs of staining etc.
