Not having owned my SRT-6 for long - and should this be a possible factor - and never had a car with a supercharger, I would appreciate the following information: What is the general pecking order of possible causes and what are their names/locations?
I would think that in some circumstances one side of the engine could be hotter than the other due to lean conditions for example.
I cannot see any oil on those tips. I get water when the engine is cold, but water is a byproduct of combustion, and when cold it comes out as steam but condenses, when the exhaust is hot it is less visible.
