Default Fluid on MAP sensor
2002 C5 coupe. Some sort of fluid aggregates on the MAP sensor shorting it out. This has happened several times requiring MAP sensor replacement. Any idea of type fluid this could be and/or point of origin? Thanks.

do you have any pics of it?... possibly oil getting past the pcv system and sucked back into the intake?

Do you have a K&N or other type of oil wetted air filter? If so it may have too much oil on it and the excess is being sucked into the throttle body and fouling the MAF.
