I have a 2018 with the 5.7. I was doing a air filter cleaning, and noticed oil on top of filter box. It looks like some sort of carbon filter, on side it says non service. That non service filter is getting oil soaking through. Should I take it to the dealership for service?

It’s a emissions charcoal filter to trap oil droplets from vapors that may escape from crankcase when engine is off.
