Intake manifold all greasy underneath. Oil leak possible? Anyone had this?
Just replaced the clamp on the crankcase breather pressure regulator valve (the big plastic thing on the intake hose that looks like a dv but isn't...), since It seemed to be leaking. Then I followed the hose all the way underneath the intake manifold where I discovered lots of greasy dirt and oil residues. Looks like the clamps are responsible as well, but I'm also suspecting a 'T' shaped hose under there might be torn.
Anyone had this? Does it ring any bells? Any help appreciated!
Btw, fuel injectors seem to be leaking slightly as well, but I quess that's common... Or is it?

I hand a freind call me a few weeks ago because his engine was smoking a noxious black cloud. He had
...over filled his oil a lot and the air box had two inches of oil in the bottom. That's what can happen when your crank case vent which is vented back to the air box is dealing with an overfill.
