Removed the vent tube that leads to the air box and there is pink goo in there. I'm guessing it is from excess moisture and oil when I last clean my air filter because the air filter oil is red but then again the Motul engine oil is kind of red too. If it is from the air filter is that goo going into the into engine? I let the air filter dry but who knows. When you wring it out after washing and cleaning a similar goo came off of it. Yes goo is the technical term from the manual. LOL.

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

The engine does breathe back and forth thru the tube, it needs to push air back and forth as the piston moves up and down. Normally, most of the movement happens towards the air cleaner. Change one of the 2 away from red oil and you should have your answer on which way your engine is breathing most.
