I just received an old-ish (1990) Toshiba T1000LE

nothing too abnormal.
I didn't think a hard drive contained anything that
could ooze out. Any
idea what it could be and does that mean the drive
is pretty much
toast? Let the magic goo out?

I also have this problem with a Mac Portable also from about 1990.
Can't offhand remember the drive model but it's the gasket.
I mop it up from time to time. It's still working.
