Gas fired boiler, oil in burner tubes

I'm working on a fairly old (2014ish) Buderus boiler doing preventative maintenance. I'm also fairly new to working on gas boilers as I've only had experience with steam boilers.

There are three large burner tubes that feed in to the combustion chamber that mysteriously started leaking some kind of green oil a couple days after cleaning them (no water or chemicals used in burner tubes, water used to flush tank). Nobody seems to know what the oil could be or where it's coming from. The oil has since stopped, but we are still trying to determine what it is and where it came from.

Anyone experience this before that could possibly clue me in on what it is?
