Hi,
I was checking the oil on my XC the other day and found this on the engine. It looks like acorn shells and my gut feeling is that some woodland creature stashed it in the car and whatever it tried to store was consequently shredded by moving parts and distributed throughout the engine compartment. The car is seldom driven.
What do you think? It looks organic. The other possibility is that something is deteriorating under the hood and showing up in weird places or do I just need to check the engine for a squirrels' winter stash?
Thanks,
S
