Leak on intake (with pics)
Hi guys,

I have what appears to be a leak at the front of the intake.







What do you think is the culprit?

Rub your finger on the spot and smell it

What does it smell like? Oil? Antifreeze?

The tube back further looks like it is wet or someone sprayed something on it. I'd pull the intake tube, throttle body cover and throttle body and look around for a source.

Mine has a vacumme hose somewhere in that area that develops a leak about every 80k miles. Just a thought.

looks like the intake boot might be loose at throttle body and leaking a little blow oil
