Don't know if it's toxic, but, yes, it's definitely to keep it cool, so, no
maybe about it; you need a new coil ASAP before it dies.

Subject: Electrical Coil - The Oil Inside
Hello List and Happy New Years, I hope everyone had an excellent Christmas
holiday.
I just went out to work on the roadster. Saw some oil on the inner fender
and thought it was from an oil line. Not brake fluid - no smell and no
paint pealing. Looks like it is coming from the hole at the end of the coil
that holds the main lead wire to the distributor. I touched this stuff.
Is is a plain oil used to keep the coil cool or is it more toxic? May need
new one at any rate.
Larry.
