hey i hope i got some1s attention. but i been seeing some build up around my FPR please take a look at the pics. and please help me figure out what this might be. im obviously thinking i have a leak of some sort or maybe its something else...YOUR INPUT IS NICE AND GREATFUL LOL

 

Looks like corrosion, I see you live up north. Just try to keep it cleaned off, you can use the same solution you would with a battery. It's probably comming from the bolts since the FPR itself is Aluminium. It may sound crazy, but I've heard adding a Ground strap or maybe another metal bracket to ground the PFR out will help reduce the rate at which it corrodes.

 

hmm. but it is greasy... is that still considerd corrosion

Wipe it off and the area aound it really clean. Then take the car for a drive and do an inspection of the immediate area. Look for the source. Could be a boost leak in that area maybe. It looks atomized.

yeah I would say clean it off real good and then see if it builds agian and then see where it's building from. The corrosion could attract dust and what not in the air and stick to the corrosion.

could be condinsation of sorts and oil is attracting to it?
