It's a valve stem seal now.

More seriously, could it be from one of the ECU main connectors?

Could it be from inside the variable length inlet manifold

You nailed it in one guess . . . . . . would you like to guess where the A/C Compressor Clutch Fuse is located for $200 ?

So no one wants to bite & try to guess where the A/C Compressor Clutch Fuse is located?   ;)

Believe it or not, the A/C Compressor Clutch uses the same fuse as the cigarette lighter.

So if your A/C suddenly stops working, see if you can still "light up" before doing anything else.  ;)

We now return you to your normal family programming.

Clever, have seen similar before. Helps with troubleshooting if you know the ropes.
