Should I be worried?
Just got the boxster a few weeks ago, in excellent condition, but I guess the engine was never cleaned, this oily residue has me wondering if I have a AOS situation going on, my cel light was on and I just changed my MAF sensor.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1405557912.jpg

Since you dont have any driveability problems, thats good. Pull the codes and post.
I would try removing the Rubber ducts that are oily and check for cracks or rips and leaks. When you put them back on, make sure they seal,properly. |
Codes were 1128 and 1130, I cleaned the Maf sensor and the cel returned the next day, so I decided to put in a new sensor, I'll know by tomorrow if the problem is solved,
But yes I plan on cleaning the entire engine and checking for leaks as well. |
The conventional wisdom is that 1128 and 1130 are symptoms of a vacuum leak. I was getting the codes almost weekly over the winter, and I checked all of the usual suspects: vacuum lines on the engine, as well as the AOS tube and the oil filler tube. No luck. I finally realized that the codes occurred within a day after refueling. I replaced the gas cap in April, and have had no codes since.

+1 on vacuum leak. If you are a DIY owner, this might be an opportunity to do a Throttle body/Plenum tube clean.
This would also let you examine closer for any damaged items that could cause a leak |
