Installed an Odin adjustable gas block last week and managed to get it dialed in today. Then I noticed it's filthy!

Looks like gas is leaking out from not only the adjustment screw but around the block too
I doubt I would have noticed if I had a black barrel, but it's very noticeable on stainless. I didn't have this with the non-adjustable block, but I was also ejecting brass at about one o'clock.

I'm currently not too concerned about it, but it'll annoy me if I have to do more cleaning because of the block...
 
If you got it restricted a bunch I would say carbon marking would be more or less normal. The gas is going to take the path of least resistance and the pressure is considerable. I have the same thing happen with one of my rifles with a normal gas block when I shoot it suppressed.
No can, no marks, can on you get just what you have above. Increased pressure, same as choking down the gas block
