The only kind of oil that would come from that location would be Air Conditioner Refrigerant Oil, coming from the A/C evaporator. This oil would be very clean and clear. This means an evaporator leak. That means the refrigerant is also leaking and I would guess your A/C is no longer working. Assuming there is not a bottle of baby oil in the glove box leaking, you have a broken A/C system.
