It's probably grease that's been flung out of the bearings. What does it feel like?

it is most likely white lithem grease.. its a hi temp grease and they tend to use it alot on electric motors ... ive opened up my fair share of electric motors ranging from fans to controller vib motors they all seem to have this grease in it

corrosion is your answer then he probly ran it wet and over time built up corrosion brush it off and you should be fine you could even spray battery proctor on it to prevent that in the future
