Renewed a light switch at weekend, after taking off the cover noticed what looks like green sticky oil on the terminal contacts. Unscrewed a ceiling rose and noticed the same sticky gunk on the live terminals only. Unscrewed another rose to check and this one was clean. Any ideas why this is happening, is it dangerous? No problems with appliances, lighting or fuses tripping as yet. Any replies most welcome. Thanks
