That means there's leaked oil internally and on the blade.
It's the sympton of the bad cause on the old lenses and the lens is not good.

Yes, you're right!
The oil on the blade might cause more problems in the near future with dust and other foreign objects.
To fix that problems is not cheap, required to replace all the internal seals, there's no replacement parts for some old lenses.
