I have a 2019 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback and after opening my hood I noticed an excessive of what looks like grease/oil around the engine bay. Should I be concerned? I've only started to learn about car anatomy so my knowledge is limited. Dealership is fully booked until september so I'm just wondering if this issue needs to be checked asap or if its ok to wait until september.

This is anti corrosion wax. Not anything to be concerned of.

From the look of it, it seems to be oil from rust proofing.
Did you have your car rust proofed lately?
Oh, yes actually back in june. Is it ok for me to just wipe it off?

I would wipe the oil from rubber parts, I've seen before that rubber parts swell, but otherwise I would leave it.
Alright will do. Thanks!
