If you're using a K&N filter its most likely the oil from that.

get a CRC MAF cleaner and clean it out.

You dont want any kind of oil build up/dirt build up on the sensors.

I would recommend that you check/clean it every 15k miles or so.

The car will run more effecient that way.

Hope this helped.

tilt the assembly in such a way that as you jet the oily film, it will drip down and not puddle in the maf. it dries in no time.
