I asked about this a while back but thought I would add a picture. This is what it looked like when I took off the filter air box to clean and inspect. I can see how fuel would get into there, I know some oil might be getting into the intake up by the valve cover but is this too much. I always have some of this fuel oil mixture, it is almost black.
So do I have a problem here, what should I look at next if anything? I am installing an oil separator so while the cowl is off I would like to track this down if this is considered abnormal.
Oil consumption seems normal, no black in exhaust only minor weeps in and around the engine. I do have a couple drops on the top of the air box that seem to come from oil that collect on the bottom of the starter, they are there every time I have taken the cowl off. does not appear oil is getting in from the dirty side of the filter, seems just on the inside. I guess it could be getting in at the alternate air door, it is a tight fit but no air tight.
Thanks for you input in advance.
Cheers
