Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I opened the engine cover for the first time myself today to check the PS level.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

I opened the engine cover for the first time myself today to check the PS level. And I found some traces of oil on the tube connecting the two sides (not the plenum). Got a crappy pic with my iPhone and I hope that someone could tell me if I should rush to the dealer or what?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

POST 2Original post

I need a much better view...that looks like a pic from a bad dishwasher

POST 3Original post

Do you run a K&N air filter? Some oil in the intake is normal, but that looks a bit much. Here is a pic of mine with 15k on it.

POST 4Original post

Sorry for the bad pic, iPhone quality and at night. It does look like a dish washer though lol @ul2fly: No, everything is stock!
