I have the same laptop GL703GM, but I don't have this issue.

and now, whenever i play any game i have to use it with a cooling stand otherwise it enter in protection mode, really disappointed.

Perhaps one or more heat pipes leaked then? That would certainly cause cooling issues.
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station…

Yes. You must change the motherboard in the warranty.
I change my motherboard after 3 months 🙂 Now I think I have a new revision because is working very fine 😉

Looks like dried up soda

Soda is not oily, and I'm not so careless to drink anywhere close to laptop 🙂

The only thing that could leak something inside your laptop is the battery. And it wouldn't be an oily substance. That's really weird.
I really don't think it comes from the inside of your laptop.

Do you Vape near your laptop, it will leave oily residue. Our laptops are basically vacuum cleaners

Yes I vape, but that does not explain the overheating and my vaping is not even nearly enough to leave that kind of residue
