Default Need help with grease-staining center armrest lid

Something is leaving a splotch of grease on the side of my center console. I am assuming it's coming from the bottom side of the armrest lid that slides. However, when I tilt it up and search for the grease, there's nothing there. Where is this lubricant coming from? I clean off the stain and it's back again in a few days. TIA

No and no. The stain has been appearing since new. And it's on the passenger side, not the driver side.
