Need a favor...

I need a favor from some of the local Seattle/eastside guys. I have been experiencing a whistling noise when I get to 4,000 rpm lately. From what I have read here on the site it is possibly caused by some oil getting into my intake. I have an AEM cold air intake. I need the help of someone who has the knowledge on how to clean it out as well as also checking out the MAF sensor and possibly cleaning that as well. I live in a condo so I don't have a garage or a lot of tools, so I will need to come to your place if you do have a garage. I am willing to provide a six pack of the good samaritan's favorite beer. I know the front end had to be removed in order to install the intake, but I am hoping that does not have to occur in order to clean it out. If anyone in the area has experience with cleaning out this kind of intake that would be great. I live in Issaquah and am open this coming weekend and the weekends after the 8th.

Thanks,
Eric

Well we can clean your maf if you come to the toy run. That's easy. Far as your whistling. Did you install the intake then hear it or its been installed and now the sound has developed?

Sure one of the intake couplers isn't leaking?

Yeah, I'm sure one of the couplers isn't leaking. After my last track day I had my car checked out at Jerry's Little Car Shop and he didn't find any leaks. There was no whistling after initially installing the intake. It started happening after my last track day. I think the engine got a little over heated and that may have caused some oil to get into the intake.
