[s-cars] oil wetness under intake manifold area

[Bill Clancy]

I gotta tell ya...
The underneath of mine is scary.   I can't even tell where all the oil and
grime comes from.    It still runs good and doesn't use much oil... so I
guess I'll be ignoring it until I see a piston shoot out the top of the
hood.
