changing my air filter this week i noticed that i have oil coming out of my AMM
i know this would be from the flame trap intake into the intake hose
show there be some oil here?
how much is "normal"?
i generally don't get this far on an air filter change, but the AMM mounting nut was spinning inside the AMM housing - got creative in re-mounting the AMM with the fronmost mounting nut - maybe all the oil i collected (an ounce) was from at least 2 years of collection
i can't think of any other source, nor that it should be a bad thing, per se
seems most of my oil should be draining back from below the flame trap (which is an IPD relocation kit)
