What's goin' on here?

[The Vageterian]

Ok..... I just performed the "SEAFOAM" intake cleaning procedure via my brake booster vacuum line. I let it suck down a whole can, and then killed the engine allowing the stuff to disolve the carbon for about 45 minutes or so. I then started it up... Let it get to operating temperature, and revved it at idle for about 10 minutes at 3000-4000 rpm to blow the deposits out. I didn't keep the rev that high the whole time, as to not beat the crap out of the engine. After I got out of the car I noticed what I thought was water had made a puddle under my drivers side tail pipe. I didn't think anything of it, and suspected moisture was the cause. When I went out to the car and noticed the puddle was still there after 4 hours, I knew it was not water. Not sure, but it appears that it's OIL!! Is this normal? My SHO has 131,000 miles on it

Also... It appears to me after watching my pipes that the drivers side has twice as much smoke coming out of it than the passenger one. What's up with that? Is it because it's one pipe going into two mufflers?

Don't worry about the items you observed.

The oily deposits are the residues that the Seafoam removed from the system and that were put out via the exhaust.

The observation that most of it (and the exhaust at idle) exited out one pipe is also normal. There is a slight difference in the airflow resistance on one side so more exhaust will go that way.

Go drive the car and have fun!

I know what a vegetarian is, so is a "Vageterian?" someone whose diet consists of ******-tables?

Cactus like this is hard to find.

I though trees used seeds.

That would be my guess, Scott lol
