Engine oil in Pollen Filter area? Help!

Kev@E91 · 08-28-2020, 09:19 PM

When i took off my pollen filter I have noticed that there is engine oil on the inside area which leads to the cabin vents. Anybody any idea what could cause oil to end up there?

That’s a very strange place to get oil into. I would wipe it off and not worry about it. I can’t think of anything that would actually shoot oil in there. Maybe somebody sprayed oil on the blower motor?
