What is this oily residue? 

I saw this a month back and cleaned it with 99 IPA and it was gone. And today I see it came back.

Google says its thermal pad oil secretion.

I am 100% certain its not capacitor juice as all capacitors in that area are intact and can be seen from both side.

GPU is a 1660s from Zotac.

Btw here is my GPU layout from inside. 

Picture by hardwaretimes.

The picture has a missing capacitor circled in red which my GPU has as I can see the legs.

Anyone?

I would tend to agree with your Google results. Probably just oil coming out of the thermal pads and seeping around.
