What's this tacky gloopy-looking drool?
(Also, is this TN-S? )

As for the tar, it is an all too common sight. It could easily have been like this from day one. The DNO are unlikely to do anything unless there is signs of overheating.
Do you also have a second CU? You have some newer looking tails going from left to right (the grey ones). These look to be taken from the top of the incomer of the old CU - not a great practice.
Have you checked your bonding?

Strange you should say that, when I saw the first photo, I thought "that could be a sign of overheating".
Of course I defer your greater experience, but on a recent thread there was a photo of a burnt out cu, and one of the tarry cables had started to "bead up" on the surface, presumably as a result of heat.
Also, there's no dust on the tar so it could be fresh.
Well what exactly is the black tar stuff?
Is it used as a seal of some sort?
Fnarr fnarrin this one there is a fresh clean dribble
