Try tracing the "oil" back to its source. Fix the leaking device and then go from there to determine if it is associated with the smell.

The A/C coolant may be leaking! Also, there may be mold/mildew in the pipes, which would explain why it stinks. Probably is located in the heater core, since you state it gets worse when the heater is on. Go to an A/C specialist and ask if they can clean it out.

Good luck!

Indeed, the most favorable place for the growth of bacteria and for the accumulation of garbage is the evaporator of the air conditioner. It is necessary to remove all the garbage from it, or at least neutralize the bacteria living in its secluded corners.

The smell is the result of putrefactive processes, the reproduction of microorganisms on the surfaces of the car's ventilation system. The air is drawn through the cabin filter or the air intake in the cabin, then it passes through the evaporator and is sent to the cabin. When the air conditioner is turned on, the evaporator has a temperature lower than the ambient air, so condensation will form on it. When we arrive at a parking lot and turn off the air conditioner, there is often still moisture on the evaporator, which now, together with the dirt in it, heats it up to the ambient temperature. As a result, we have all the factors for the reproduction of bacteria, the occurrence of rotting on the evaporator – this is water and dirt. I think you need to turn to an affordable aircon service Singapore. They will help you.

First of all, you should try to find out what kind of oil it is and out where it comes. May be it is not an oil, but it's antifreeze, if it's oil first you have big troubles with your engine, also it can be oiled from the car's gearbox. If it's antifreeze you should find out the exact place of leakage because your engine can overheat and you'll pay a lot of money for repair. If you are not able to find the place if leakage you should try it if it it can leak from the nipple and it is easy to fix it, if no, you should ask some specialists
