    The oil itself will cause poor connection on the pins in the socket and yes the mixture in the oil is an issue as well..

    The four pins go into a wire from the power supply. There's one in your hard drive and should be another couple of them on the same wire. The slot fan doesn't slide into the motherboard slots, only the case parts of the slot with the screw.
