I Have a 2003 Mach and I saw oil on the bottom of my trans when I was under the car and traced it back to what looks like the intake.(Photos posted)This is right under the shaker scoop. Has anyone else had this problem??

I find it hard to believe youd have that much oil coming out of the intake unless youve got some major problems.

Personally Id spray that whole area down with carb cleaner and wipe it down, intake and valve cover, then check on it every drive or two and try to determine the source. Air flow etc...can blow it around and then it drops down onto everything else
