I had a big mess on the bottom cover after dealer did brake fluid flush and also another time after oil change. I don't think they give a f$$* about leaving a mess. I removed the cover and attempted to clean it with carb cleaner spray. It is still stained but dry so that it won't be attracting dirt.

Interesting that you got the throttle body off without needing to pull tube. I like to do it in part to inspect how much oil is carrying up the charge pipe.

Sorry your issue has went from bad to worse. Good luck with dealer.
