Found the test cap on the manifold value loose (photo 2).  The b-nut for the cap had been marked with indicator paste. 

Ick.  Kind of makes me question the usefulness of anti-tamper lacquer.  Obviously, if the lacquer mark is not broken, that suggests it was loose on the original installation

M20R (Ovation 1), io550G5 factory reman 2012.  Noticed the blue staining through the oil access door; first photo was taken through the oil access door (with cowl still on).

In your first picture it looks like the hose clamp on the induction tube coupling is loose. Acetone on a Q tip will dissolve the fuel dye.
