Question on a spot of corrosion

I'm working on refurbishing an SE Superdrive for my friend, but came across what I worry might be some corrosion at the base of the power supply. This is in the left front of the machine just behind the contrast knob (which is visible in the picture)

It sort of looks like grease to me and appears dry. Looking inside the power supply, I don't notice any leaky capacitors on the inside of the power supply.

Anyone else run into this? Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Take the circuit board completely out of the power supply so you can see the caps better, I would almost bet you that there is a leaky one in there.
