I had always wondered why 1011s were do dingy near the #2 engine, and then I knew!
The dirty (dingy ?) area around the #2 engine was not caused by oil from the #2 engine but by hydraulic fluid from the stabilizer and rudder servo and actuators. Hydrulic fluid leakage and normal dirt accumulation did the trick.
