i don't know yet. car was in detail and that what they seen while detailing the engine. not the whole box just portion. I suspect it may be because of hard driving. i removed charc. filter recently not sure if that made a difference

yes i know. hope it's not serious. another thought is that it was dirty inside it may be blocking the air. and another thought - my wife was driving it right before this happened. may be she forgot to release hand brake like she does on our other car frequently
