Default Checked My Plenum

So i checked the inside of my intake, and it didnt seem that dirty. Ive seen air filters that were more oily. I could only see the back 1/4 of the intake. It definetly wasnt perfectly clean, but it also wasnt soaked in oil.

One weird thing though, i was able to some black sludge from the seams of the butterflys.

Thanks

if you have the black sludge on bottom of tb blades, then the plenum is leaking oil.....thats a carbon build up from the oil.
