You will need to travel to Felwood for this quest.
You will receive a box with the jars in them. If you are having inventory troubles (full inventory, etc) leave them in the box until you are ready to do the quest. After you open the box, you will receive 2 sets of 6 jars. One set for the Tainted Ooze, one set for the Cursed Ooze.
The Tainted Ooze can be found at the two ponds in Jaedenar. The coordinates are 40, 59 and 40, 55 for those two ponds.
The Cursed Ooze can be found just south of there at two other ponds. The coordinates for those two ponds are 40, 67 and 40, 71.
After you kill the Oozes, be sure to loot them. Then, select their dead "body" and use the appropriate container (Cursed or Tainted, depending on what you just killed) to fill the jar with ooze.
When you are finished, you will need to fly back to Ironforge to turn in the quest to Laris Geardawdle in the Hall of Explorers.
Don't be like me and kill a ton of them expecting the jars to drop. Laris gives you a crate with the jars in it.

Description
But the thing I've studied most is ooze. I know it sounds odd, but they're all over! I helped a lady in Menethil find her bag not too long ago--it was eaten by oozes. I've seen members of the Royal Apothecary Society from Undercity collecting samples of the stuff. I want to know why! Where does it come from? I've heard of more in Felwood. What I need are samples of the oozes there so I can further my research. I'll give you containers, you use them to collect a sample from the deceased creatures.
