The fuel isn't introduced in the intake manifold but rather in the intake
runner at the head.
If there's a really light coating, that's mainly oil from the PCV valve
(normal). If there's a puddle, excessive oil usage, or it's pinging really
bad...that's a blown belly-pan gasket.

Subject: DML: do i have the dreaded belly pan gasket leak?
I've seen alot posted on the belly pan gakset being a
weak link. I looked down my throttle body and the
metal plate at the bottom looks damp, but it's not a
dark looking liquid. Could fuel alone have caused
this? Would it be a darker color like oil if I really
do have this gasket problem?
Thank you.
