C63 (W204) stains on intake manifold
Discussion
Hi all! I'm going to look at a C63 later this week, and was sent a video of the engine bay where I saw some dark looking spots on the intake manifold.
Any ideas what it could be? My assumption is that someone has dripped oil onto it from the dipstick and it's stained, which seems a little careless to me and makes me wonder all sorts of things! Would it put you off the car?
Any thoughts welcome, thank you!

Check every thing else out. Make sure the service history and mileage check out. Listen for ticking noises on idle. Smell for burning oil from possible leaking rocker cover gaskets. Find out if its within the dodgy head bolt range (although this doesnt seem to be so much of a problem in the uk).
These cars a generally fairly reliable.
