Re: Water Inside Upper Intake Manifold
How much water? Droplets? Oil is common but other then droplets if the car was sitting parked for a few days in a temperature changing climate is not normal.

Do you by any chance have a cold air intake? That would possibly suck up water if you are driving through puddles.
