Recently noticed this oil or liquid comming from the hose that connects from the Air filter to the procharger. I took off that tube and the inside looks ok. No dents, or liquids that would give me an concern. Anybody have any idea? Thanks. 2002 mustang gt 108k miles
Hopefully you can tell from this photo but around the right side of the tube is not a shadow. I cant really tell what it is. It has no smell to it. It does however have some slickness to it.
Slight oil film on intake tube isn't end of the world. Head unit might be wearing out. Maybe time for rebuild on charger if your air filter wasn't jizzed up with filter oil
The same residue appears to be on the connector for your cooling fan and also the corner of the expansion tank. And probably elsewhere that just can't be seen in the pic. Could be oil but I'm at a loss as to how it got there. Clean it up with some Simple Green or whatever just so you can get a fresh start and then monitor the area. I would also want to inspect the discharge side of the blower, see if you have oil over there as well - if possibly seals/bearings in the blower are worn as mentioned above then my best guess is you would see more of the same on the discharge side.
