"Oily" AC accumulator and dusty "engine bay".

Hello, I've bought my Ioniq EV 2019 28kwh a year ago and I am happy with it, but today I noticed something strange under the hood. You see, since I bought the car (used), I knew that the "engine bay" was quite dusty, but I never really cared about that, since it's only dust. However, today, upon looking closer, I noticed that big cylinder that seems to be quite oily and dusty unlike the rest of the engine bay that is only dusty. Google told me it's the AC accumulator. It is hard to tell if it's really oily or if it's only wet/cool dust. Should I worry? And how to remove all that dust?
