I was doing an oil change on my SS last week and I noticed the the rubber piece that holds the two intake tubes together on my intake (rotofab) has begun to slip off. The gap between the rubber piece and the plastic tube was only a few millimeters and it was only present on the bottom side. I didn't get any CELs, however the I noticed the engine riding a little rough only on cold starts. I'm not sure how long it was like this for. I have 6500 miles on the car, so it couldn't have been like this for too long, however the engine bay has been really dusty lately due to all the pollen. Is there any chance that this could cause engine damage? The oil and filter has been changed and I think I'm going to use one of the upper induction cleaning sprays.
