More evidence, copied from iomtt.com:
"We noticed these on the way home tonight, but only after following the road cleaner for a bit, wondering what it was doing soaping the road up for a considerable stretch!
The spillage continued all around the course and only seemed to clear mid way along on the Voddy!? Also it seemed to stop at the Ballig turning and start again at the left hander (dont want to think that someone is doing it deliberately but there is a police car parked there at the moment more often than not)
There was a really big spillage at Sarahs after Glen Helen right on the bend!
Surely if this is deliberate or not someone must have been following whatever it was making the mess and noticed something?
Whatever it was there was so much of it, and with the amount of traffic on the road someone must have seen something. Either way it needs to stop before someone is hurt or worse.

RE: Diesel Spillages - Again!
This is particularly useful as it identifies spillages going north of Ballacraine. It may suggest an overfilled, left-sided tank, slopping it out on right-hand bends. However, the spillages that we saw were towards the middle of the traffic lane.
In response to a suggestion that rain had brought old spills to the surface, this certainly happens, and on a frightening scale. However, yesterday's spillage was very strong, visible and concentrated. We first noticed it from Ballagarraghyn to Ballacraine, and queuing for the lights had caused larger deposits there. I would also guess that it had been dropped between 4pm and 5.15pm, when we spotted it, as there was little spread pattern caused by traffic and/or dampness.
If you are travelling that way this afternoon, keep your eyes open for a repeat performance.
