    The oil you found is from the recirculated air coming out of the pcv valve. Cokinut has a diy for an oil catch can that prevents the oil from getting into your intake. http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=11009

      *just look at my sig*
      i placed 2 breather filters, one on the intake pipe, and the other on the valve cover in place where the hose is suppose to connect the two. this will solve your problem

        two breather filters hunh? BRILLIANT! the 12mm kind? does brand really matter? and i already have the oil catch can installed, but i have it going from the PCV to the intake mani because they said one here was useless... how much damage do you think that has done??

          wait a sec. what will the breather filter on the intake do? cuz i know that there shouldn't be any oil there... what if i just plugged it?

            you can do that too. i did it for looks
            and i wouldn't worry about any serious damage. if you like, you can always spray the tb with tb cleaner to help clean the intake manifold.

                like i said, tb cleaner will do the job. but remember to do this while the car is idling, and don't overspray into the tb..you don't want to flood the motor!
