Pull the wire from the coil. If it has oil on it you need a new coil. They rarely go bad but when they do !!!

I was just going to post what oil means on the coil but found this post. Oil is bad? What does it mean? The little screw can't be tightened or something? I have a MSD Blaster 2 that is 3.5 years old and has only about 15,000 miles on it.
For about 1 year I have been getting a small puddle of oil in an odd spot where motor oil can not really get to, maybe it is from the coil? I've never felt to see if my coil gets hot when the key is on.
