What is this yellowish stuff coming out of my oil paint tube?

I paint with oils, and I've noticed that some kind of yellow stuff comes out of the tube. What is that stuff?
I know there's linseed oil, but there's this stuff that's yellow and it pretty much looks like boogers. It's not liquid.

It could just be the oil. Yellowish stuff comes out of my paint sometimes...I believe it's just the oil.

its oil that has seperated from the paint.
thats normal for paints to have a watery or oily liquid come out

Probably Linseed oil.

Just mix it back in with the paint.

It is the oil base separating out of the paint. You need to squish it around to mix it back into the paint. It's like any liquid that is mixed. The lighter part (the oil) will separate out from the heavier part (the paint pigment).
