The streaks are most likely sump leakage. A diesel engine will invariably leak oil, and it will collect in the area around the base of the engine mount, sometimes in large pools if unattended. Eventually, it will escape through seams and cracks and then drip on whatever's next. In this case, the fuel tank.
