The lid is curry-paste-oil gas-permeable and the saturated curry-paste-oil atmosphere condenses when it reaches the outside air? A slow fractional curry-paste-oil distillation process.
I've observed the same effect on jars of jam and cans of corned beef. Sadly however the two effects are explained by sloppy hygiene and rust respectively.

I've always thought small objects fill the voids more easily than large objects, I never really applied science as it just seems like common sense to me.
I've never noticed oil on my Pataks jar? Maybe these scientists are too weedy to put the lid back properly?

Explain the anomalous curry paste effect.
The phenomenon has been known for many years and is solved with mathematics. The small objects need less movement to fall towards the bottom. Large objects need several small objects to move aside in order to sink therefore, large objects will always move towards the top.
