The key to the whole thing, it has to have a clickable blob after you kill one of the [npc=165027]s. The drop rate is just very typical of blizzard. You don't have to abandon and retake the quest, just keep killing until it leaves a blob that gives you a cog icon on your mouse. It will stay there long enough, for me anyway, to run to the Pool of Potions (as long as you're close to it anyway) and back three times to complete the quest with that kill. What I did was hit the [npc=165027] once, run to the edge of the hill going up to the Pool of Potions, then kill it there. Third kill got me the cog. (After I came here and read Strokelock's post.)

Description

I shall teach you about the Pool of Potions. The potions we create here have a variety of beneficial effects. Kill the slimes in the surrounding ruins and collect the Oozing Ingredient: Viscous Oil they may drop. Each slime can produce a great quantity of oil, so you'll only be able to carry one slime's worth at a time. Deliver this oil to the Pool of Potions and toss it in.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
