checked it again today and still dry and the MAF is clean. Yeah, it didn't smell like oil and it was as clear as water (almost) plus I just found out they never did a recall on my car. Recall 4206F. I already have an appointment and its going in tomorrow morning.

What can it be, if not motor oil?!? Maybe was fresh motor oil (not much smell in that case)?
I used to get oil in there before the catchcan install, but never seen anything else... Strange indeed.
it happened to me, but only if I overfill the oil.

I got a Greddy Catch can for like 1/2 yr but never had a chance to install it ... maybe I should do it just to be safe.
