Hello,

I have a 2001 7.3 and I just changed the oil. While under the hood I noticed a lot of black oily deposits around the intake rubber and clamps going into the turbo. It was on the black rubber connector that says cool air? There was also some spray on a few tubes under the pipe.

When I was looking for a 7.3 truck I noticed that a few others had a bunch of black crud in the same area. This is obviously common. What is the issue and how do I repair it?

Thanks,
