3 dirty intake runners?

Aren't 3 of those for exhaust? If you mean the front intake is dirtier than the other two, I'd say that's normal. Possibly the EGR or some other pollution control

I highly doubt it since they go directly into the plastic intake plenum. Plus they're not nearly dirty enough for that... just oily.

I'm going to feel incredibly stupid if you're right though.

I was looking at it cross-eyed. You are correct.
