Are you talking about some sort of corrosion that can be seen or something else?
Or something like dust from the cooling fan sucking in dirty air?
If a spool of wire has been exposed for a signifcant amount of time there could be some "film" on the wire. I don't know if it's a sort of oxidation or not, but in your case a lot more experienced people than me seem to think it's a gas issue. It very well coild be.
