It was hiding behind the pods. Right side is worse than the left. Not sure where its coming from. One of the gaskets maybe?

Yep. Intake O-rings. That is fuel deposits, not oil. Easy, cheap, almost fun fix.

Intake O'rings perhaps? I had similar looking smudge on my intake manifolds surround the outer side of the o-rings where they contact the head. It was the o-rings causing it. I am not sure why it looks like that, gas + water + dirt = who knows what ya get, but the Viton O-rings that red-eye sells are very well priced and are a very easy starting point mechanically. |

OK, so I'm guessing remove the two bolts on each then pull intake off replace o-ring then reassemble?

Just to add, loosen clamp on rubber manifold piece, no idea what its called. If doing more than one at a time, stuff shop rag in intake to avoid dropping a part into the cylinder.

I just checked the manual.
After you replace the rings, torque the bolts to 6.5 lbs (not much).

+1 to both recommendations. I believe they are called manifold or carb insulators, and you will want to remove the carb link cover (3 phillips head screws) to get better access to loosen them up. edit - if you want to remove them with the manifolds, not needed. just loosen the bottom band clamp. |

Very easy to change the intake O-rings. Just loosen the three clamps on the rubber, remove two bolts on each intake and pull out while lifting slightly. Nothing else needs to be removed from what I see in the pic you posted. Do all three on each side while the clamps are all loose, this gives you just enough slack to make it easy to remove and replace the intake tubes without screwing up the new O-rings. I put a lite coating of dielectric lube on mine to make them slippery or use a dab of grease. Get the dielectric lube from Radio Shack or auto parts store.
