Oil film on inside of drivers side window (Chevymgr i could use your help!)

Ok so I started noticing a few weeks ago that the inside of my driver side window has been getting this oily residue on the inside of the window towards the back of it. it even makes a squeak noise sometimes. Well today i notice i have 2 little scratches running horizontal that cam from something inside the door when i had the window half way down, it actually scratched my tint and has ruined it. What could cause a oily residue coming from inside the door? also what would scratch my window inside the door? is it possible something is loose in there causing it to scratch my window, like a bracket or something. What inside the door panel has oil in it? cause i can smell the oil when i rub my finger across it, kinda smells like hydraulic fluid. Any help is much appreciated i will take it to the dealer Monday.

I wouldn't mind knowing also, as I've had something scratching my driver's window from day 1.

Bet you got nothing over Dory's scratched up tint!
