I noticed this happen a little bit on mine as well. I've read elsewhere that if the rear tube is clogged it could cause this to happen. I hate to think that I have ring blow-by. Is there any other way to tell that without a compression test? using oil I would imagine. Mine seems to be good so far. Anywho, you can buy the replacement elbows at Advance Auto Parts. You can also buy a mini air filter and do the mod that I did here..
I then plugged the hole on the air box w/ a large allen bolt & slathered some RTV around it. Whether you do this mod or not, if you replace the elbow, expect the old one to crumble to pieces as you try to remove it.
