Was cleaning my intake and noticed this, Why is it so dirty? Whats coming out of that hole? Is there something I should do?

stop running the Dakar...

Really though that seems really dirty. It makes me think I should've checked mine the last time I cleaned the filter. I wouldn't think this is normal? (obviously I have no idea, sorry)
 
Looking at the second picture, focus on the the hole that leads to the tube going to the valve cover (where the ptp pill goes) and you can definitely see a concentration of whatever that black stuff is. I would guess thats where all of this crap is coming from. Getting a catch can might help, I could be completely wrong though. Maybe you over oiled the filter last time? Either way it don't look good.
 
thats the first time ive cleaned the filter since i bought it brand new from COBB. I was thinking catch can too. Maybe the intake was just crazy dirty and started letting dirt through, dunno.
