My assumption would be that it's oil. I was redoing my catchcan and installing a short throw shifter today, when I walked by my rear bumper and thought I saw small specks of road tar all over it. Upon closer inspection, the "tar" wiped right off. I had a little oil in my cc, so obviously it works, but what's the deal with all the speckles of blackness on my bumper and exhaust tips?

 

it is oil apparently our cars are notorious for that and its normal

 

So nothing to worry about I guess?

 

nothing to worry about

 

Running some Amsoil "PI" fuel treatment will cut it down a little more, but it never goes away 100%..........also check your hose clamps on your OCC lines on a regular basis, they work loose from the engine vibrations. If you have the Campbell-Hausfeld OCC, take the little white filter element out of it to make it more effective.....

Its carbon deposits, not oil. And there really isnt anything you can do about it. The richer you run the worse they are.

 

I'ts pretty bad. I currently don't have any performance mods(AEM CAI will be here Wed. they say...) so how is it that I am running too rich? Good ol' factory richness?

 

Yeah good old factory richness, even from the factory they get it. But I had an exhaust leak in the rear and my entire spare tire well is covered in carbon....yay o.O

 

WOOHOO!!!! I'M RICH!!!!! Seriously though. Bummer about the exhaust leak. Do have fun cleaning all that messy carbon up.
