All the trades, electrical, plumbing, HVAC (heating and air conditioning) have discussion boards, like DU, where people post pics and ask questions.

Your answer is probably out there.

It could be residue of combustion by products, the need for a new filter or a burner cleaning, or some external problem like mold.

Try posting pics and description and mention the make and model of your furnace, and if it's gas, electric, or fuel oil.

good luck.
