Black soot, what is it?

[flygirl0344]

It kinda just appeared almost overnight. From the pic, does it appear the manifold gasket needs replacing? So far everything is working fine..maybe a slight smell which I attribute to whatever is going on in the pic. Thanks in advance.

Accumulated dirt from the fan blowing on it constantly? :cowboy:

If you had black soot coming out of your intake manifold plenum your rig would be undrivable in my opinion

Yeah, this doesn't look like a leak.

Also, during operation the engine sucks air IN to the manifold, it would be odd for stuff to be coming back out.

Clean it up and see if it returns.
