just black carbon/soot looking buildup...not heavy but you can see it. The dealer basically said "thats how it is, they do that"
...regarding the oil level...they had a puma case open, and came to the conclusion that this engine is supposed to have 9L of oil instead of 8L. Not sure why the recommended # of litres would change. They filled it to 9L and said bring it back if it gets low in the next 2-3 months.
