Did you hold it up against a bright light source, or did you just look at it while still mounted on the inlet? Big difference!

I wouldn't bother taking it off to see if you see light through it.......
You can COUNT on it.
it is perfectly normal.

Yea Iam sure I would see some..its gotta pivot and its not a air tight part,.I just thought it would be a part that was machined to a tight tolerance .

I have the intake off now anyway looking for that vacuum leak,..So far a broken line ( little black plastic one) coming from the vacuum canister to the SAI switch valve ,..and the oil tube housing base that bolts to the top of the case has a cracked ear,.where the bolt goes thru so Iam hoping this solves my issue's

BUT..that AOS is still blowing oil into my intake even after I drained about 2 quarts.
