Subject: Strange oil deposit on s-tube from air filter box to intake

 My 1990 Westfalia has had a strange build up of what appears to be
engine oil on the s-shaped tube that goes from the air filter box to the
intake. My first hunch was that this may have been some of the seepage
from the rear main which has a slight leak but there is none on the top
of the engine. The oil is on the tube all of the way around. I have
replaced the transmission and the inner and outer cv boots-nothing
losing fluid/grease here. Has anyone on the list had this odd symptom?
Thanks.
