Is the car running funny at all?
Could be oil or Carbon from running rich.

Possible.
If you have a turbo could also be a turbo return line o-ring bad. (Forgive me for not being able to remember if you have a turbo or not)

Clean good from underneath if the bottom has oil on it and test drive and check again.
