Rusty water in the air filter????

Maybe you guys can help me here....(???Abe???)

Long ago, in a time and space far away, I'd replaced the aged air intake tubing with the famed ISR mod. I'd left the hose from the PAIR reed valve (?) that goes to the resonator box open and hooked up. Seems to me that's where the rusty water is coming from. I did drill holes in the bottom of the air box (which I realize now was not the greatest of ideas), but the water is definitely not coming from there. Otherwise the water would be underneath the filter and not on top........which is where it's coming from.

So, for now, I've plugged the hose mentioned above, but have no idea why I'd be getting rusty water from there or what the permanent solution is. Any ideas?

Hydrocarbons? No, it's just rusty water. I don't smell any coolant, either.

Thanks anyway, guys.

Nope. No pics. What part confuses thee? Is it the fact that I left out it's on a V6.....3vze? '92 year/model?

Der......sorry, guys.

I might be able to find something around here on YT or in a manual to illustrate tomorrow.
