You bet it'll spark some comments.

I'm throwing the B.S. flag down on that. Grey deposits? It says right in every manual you can find, or shows in a picture, a black oily coating. When mine was leaking, I'd get exactly that on my plugs, and lots of it. Now I get just a little bit, about the same on every plug, which I've been told is normal.
