Thanks Savage Bulldogs really appreciate the response. Lots of info in there. Yes it’s a PPP - checked with IM group following seeing a post here, and they confirmed it’s a legit PPP. ive not yet gone to look just noticed the deposits last night while debating whether or not to make the trip. It has full service history with stacks of paperwork so I beleive. If I look I’ll have to check everything you mentioned plus the paperwork to see if any breather pipes have been replaced. Thanks a lot for the help!!

Morning Subaru fans 🙂 ive been lurking around for a while looking at various posts and learning about the WRX’s and what to look for when buying, and only signed up the other day. I wanted to ask owners something I spotted on a 03 wagon with 100k miles. The intake manifold had what can only describe as black oily soot on the drivers side near the Y pipe. Passenger side was clean and no deposits. Is this something typical of a higher mileage car that’s not had the engine steam cleaned and nothing to worry about. Or could it have been caused by a leaking pipe/gasket anywhere causing the fouling? thanks in advance
