Oil leak under cup holder

I hope this doesn't sound too crazy! After I drive the truck, shut off the truck, after awhile I notice a leak under my cup holder that I swear looks like oil. I have a cold right now so, my nose can't smell anything. Has anyone ever seen this?
Thanks!

Never heard or seen a this. Could it be a coolant leak from the heater core?

That makes sense to me! The fluid is dark like oil & that was making me wonder "what the heck"!

I had an 2007 MC that smelled like coolant the first time I put the heat on every winter. But no actual sign of a leak.

could be oil saturation on the firewall finding its way in? Loooooooooong shot if it is in fact oil

I'll do some digging this weekend!

Do you happen to have an aftermarket oil pressure gauge?

Some of those add on gauge sets use a tube to bring pressurized oil to the back of the gauge. If the line gets damaged, or comes loose, it can leak.

muddy12,
I believe it's the original.
