I hope that didn't come from inside the engine. I dont even have anything that looks like that in my engine compartment.

Where did the fuzz come from?

Most front oil leaks are either the Metering oil pump or the front seal.

MOP is usually an easy fix...it has an o-ring seal
Front seal is a bit tricky so you don't mess up the front stack....

Best thing to do is clean it all up...and then watch to see where it is coming from
