Remove the upper part of the intake and replace the spring clamps with screw type clamps.

had the same thing on both my Kia's. theres fuel fumes in that line or the fumes are from the tank. you only notice it in winter because the heater intake is just behind there. when you speed up the draft blows the accumulation away, but the heater gets some. In the warm weather the clamp holds tighter.

I wish I found this site before I spent 200 dollars to get the same issue fix from the dealer.. They said the hose is dry rotten near the gas tank
