You can see how the sockets to the ball have broken, where do these broken bits go? into the engine i presume.

here you can see how the oil gums up the flaps, i have just removed mine from my FL2 which is easy compared to the 190 V6 manifolds.

Hi Arctic. Thanks for continuing to post such useful photos (which have been very useful to myself). Can I ask you what your solution for this was at the time when you discovered all of this? I feel pretty sure there must be many V6's in this condition!
