Is it an old home?

Some older houses have wiring that's coated in a rubber type insulation that degrades into a green goo over time. It's got a bit of a stink to it.

The goo is hard to miss, it'll be obvious in the electrical boxes if it is your problem.

Yeah old house, 1969. I'll open one tomorrow morning and check it out. For now I've left it switched off. If it acts up in the mean time I'll just switch off the breaker.

I’m in 240v and all my regular 10A sockets are on breakers labelled C20. Lights are on C10 breakers.
