I did not ask about the oily substance as it is minor compared to the crack. But now that you mention it...
I did not ask if they improved the latch as when I asked about getting a replacement console I assumed they were aware of the issue. I heard that others here also had the same crack issue.
It does wiggle horizontally a bit but there is a rubber pad on the bottom front of the console so if there is a bit of pressure down it really doesn't slide. Whoops, I should have shown that
