This most likely caused by your fan running at high RPMs. Take a look at step #3 of this guide at the crimped ends of the heat sink tubes. You are looking for evidence of leakage. This may be an oily looking stain residue from possible leakage. It probably wouldn’t hurt to also replace the thermal paste

Could just be overheating due to excessive dust. Blow out with canned air.
