I've always thought it was oil. That's what it looks like when it leaks out.

It's an oil that is there to conduct heat from the coils to the case.

Yep what Bdox said. It's called "transformer oil" and that's the stuff that had the PCB's in it. Don't know if they used any PCB'ed oil in coils, but don't know any reason they wouldn't have either.
