Desktop Computer took a dive

Well... I've had lots of software issues in the past and a few hardware problems that I've been able to fix, but never anything like this before. I had the computer on earlier this afternoon so that my mom could access the printer over our home network as I've done numerous times in the past, and came home a few minutes ago to a weird smell that I thought was the wiring conduit hitting the fan. I opened the computer tower to move it and found a clear oil-like substance on the side and underneath of the power box. A friend of mine says this is due to a leaking water cooler... to my knowledge this computer is cooled by fans and theres' no oil or liquid on them.... I'm hoping to get a few opinions before I go trying to take this to a repair shop of any kind. Below are the pics:

Not really sure if the computer runs (that the OS turns on) but from what I saw it was unresponsive and I had to do a hard shut down of the system and I've since unplugged it from everything to prevent additional damage. I'm seeing a part will have to be replaced... just trying to make sure I'm going to get the right one... my friends pushing the water cooler idea and for the life of me I don't agree with him off the bat that this is the part I need, but tell if wrong anyone....



The computer is made by cyberpower PC, bought two years ago. It's essentially a gaming PC... If more info on this is needed Please let me know.



Kind of a royal bummer :|
