Oil puddle on top of engine

[tconnarn]

i had a small oil puddle in the same area. it was due to my AOS spitting oil into used my intake manifold. the bad AOS caused an excessive vacuum which i beleive had sucked in and pinched one of my intake boots allowing some oil to drip out. with the air intake, throttle body, and resonator tunes removed, while i was cleaning up the oil with some paper towels i also found a screw in the oil puddle that had fallen out of the bottom of the resonator tubes butterfly valve. aos replacement, new boots amd hose clamps and reattaching the fallen screw seems to have fixed the oil dripping onto the engine. i dont know if it is what is causing your puddle but it may be worth checking aos and boots. best of luck to you
