There is a black light oil like drip coming out of my shower head.
Before I remove the head for inspection: any ideas as to what this
could be (aside from my private oil rig)?

Does it happen in a sink faucet?

Could be a black rubber washer disintegrating. I've seen them turn to mush.

I tend to agree, hence, why I had asked it this happens at a sink
faucet.

I use rubber braided flex lines at my water heater. The black rubber
washers are nasty when old ... looks like water from a fire irrigation
black pipe.

But it could just be the washer in the shower. valve.

No other faucet

I can't think of anything that would cause a dark oily subatance to drip out of your shower head; not even a black rubber part rotting away inside your plumbing.

I would confirm that the stuff is oil by dabbing it up with a tissue, and then seeing if the stuff evaporates from the tissue. Oil won't evaporate.

Is it possible that you have a central air conditioner in your attic above that bathroom? If so, wipe the underside of the shower arm with a tissue to see if it's dripping OUT of the shower head or leaking down the underside of the shower arm and dripping off the bottom of the shower head.
