It looks like a quite modern Cooper transformer, with laser engraved
nameplate. Unless it was filled with PCBs by some loser, it's probably fine
in that respect. It is apparently leaking which is questionable, oil doesn't
drip out of the sky. Why knows, maybe it fell over or somebody pulled the
pressure relieve valve, that can spurt oil.
