That shows the signs of a loose injector which has been like it for some time, I have no idea whether a major service includes a check of the injectors but hopefully someone else will be able to answer that. :)

Is that diesel or engine oil?

If hidden under a cover that is not removed during servicing then it is unlikely to be noticed. How long ago is it since the service, if the leak can be noticed outside of a cover then you could guess it has happened since then.
