Question What’s going on with the moisture between my M.2 and the heatsink/retainer?

As the title states, I noticed moisture trapped between both M.2 ssd and their respective retainers on my MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk.

For some reason I can’t get an image to post through any of the hosting websites. This forums is telling me it “can’t be uploaded from the passed link.” So many we can figure that out too so I can show what things look like. It’s pretty wet.

Not even on Imgur or DropBox or ImgBB? Pass on a link instead of tagging the image.

If the substance is oily, then it's the thermal pads on the board that are the source of the substance. Nothing to worry about actually.

Help transfer heat from the drive to the heatsink. A mentioned, it is normal and don't wipe it down.

Ok don’t wipe it down. Check. Yeah, it’s a little viscous, just never encountered it before.

Thanks all!
