Ford Fiesta 2012: What is oil sweat from the gearbox?

I took my 2012 Ford Fiesta for COR and it passed, but they mentioned that I have an oil sweat on the gearbox. Could you please tell me what that means, is it something to be worried about?

It’s a fine smear of oil, not a leak as such. It’s not something to worry about, unless it develops into a more serious leak.
