Taking the TB off to be rebuilt and could not help but notice that the under side is covered with oily dirt. 20,000 miles since I put it all together, but this area has, by far, the worst build up.

The boot seems pretty stiff but no obvious cracks of holes.

1. I assume the oil is coming from the oil tower filler neck. But why would it blow out with air sucking in? 1st thought the stiff boot did not make a good seal and this is my vacuum leak. But again shouldn't it suck in? But the btm clamp screw on the boot was very tight.

2. is this normal?

3. are the "S" boots available new?
