Default oily intake manifold bottom (2.7T)
I just replaced the auxiliary water pump, and noticed that the intake bottom is slightly oiled. Everything underneath the intake looked OK at a first glance, so I was wondering what are the usual suspects in this case? I'm probably missing something...

Picture1: The oily bottom
Picture2: The lifted intake

Thanks,
Milo.

Look at valve cover gaskets - they leak a lot on any B5.
