Hello, this is a strange problem with the refrigerator at home - a black liquid, similar to zift, has been leaking for some time. Extremely difficult to clean. Separately - the refrigerator is large and the old owners have decided to install it, which is not a good idea. So far so good. I assume that the condensate drain pipe is clogged and / or the overflow tank is overflowing. I don't have much money to call a refrigeration technician, give advice on how I can handle it on my own.

Information from Liebherr, a manufacturer of refrigerators: The compressor of older models of refrigerators is installed in order to reduce vibrations on rubber pads made of natural rubber. Under certain conditions, when their temperature rises above 70 degrees, tampons can turn into the liquid you described. This probably leads to an increase in noise from the compressor, because it is no longer on pads but only on screws. Obviously, the refrigerator is not installed properly, without providing enough air circulation behind it.
Black liquid sounds like oil, if it is then it dies
The refrigerator is 4 years old, Eurolux brand. I managed to pull out the fridge, cleaned everything and so far it hasn't leaked. Returning it to its place, I left it pulled a little further so that it could cool adequately. The liquid smelled like heavy jam, but it may have accumulated before I applied it. And I initially assumed it was butter. I found a single tub above the compressor, there were a few dried drops of this liquid. I will watch for new leaks.
