I've got a question for those portable guys out there... Why does the Connor hard drive leak an oil like substance.. This is the first hard drive that I have ever seen this happen to.. What the hell is it?? From reading on here and other areas as I understand it when this happens and you notice it that means it's life is over.. Even if the heads are working and it still runs and cycles.. I wasn't sure where to post this.. I didn't want to make a new thread just for this..

that's not oil. it's the rubber conner used as gasket to seal the drive. over time the stabilizing agent evaporated and the rubber reverted to its natural state...
