Although I am not positive, you could be experiencing possible blowby to the motor. This occurs when oil gets past the piston rings and enters into the intake manifold, TB. etc. What are your mods and how many miles does your car have? Again I am just taking a guess.

lol, its just from oil seeping up the oil fill tube going to the throttle body. if you look the tube goes from the valve cover to the throttle body.

Check your PCV valve.Had a 5.0 t-bird that did it.

Ended up being a little screened peice in the back of the lower manifold that was carboned up.

It happens, no big deal if your motor is still running strong. Airrated oil comming from your crankcase is sucked into your intake system from the PCV valve. How bad is the oil?

WELL, SINCE HE SAID ITS IN THE THROTTLE BODY IT ISNT FROM THE PCV! THE PCV GOES TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE UPPER INTAKE.

THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, IT IS NORMAL AND THERE IS NO NEED TO WORRY.

EVERYONE JUMPS TO A CONCLUSION THAT SOMETHING IS MESSED UP, AND ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS THINK ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT.
