Or take it off and clean it very very well. But +1 on a new one.

try cleaning it with carb and choke or brake cleaner. inless its very thick you have nothing to worry about. its not hurting anything, its usually a sign that your egr valve is working like it should.

If you intake manifold is that dirty just imagine how dirty your ACT sensor is? How vital is it that the ACT stays clean?
