Well this morning I took my throttle body off and saw alot of what looked to be fresh oil. Not alot but enough to say hey this could the underlying issue. Cleaned it up and slapped it back on. I noticed when I disconnnected my throttle the little red clip cam out and the black piece fell into the engine bay. Anyway I had to use some bungees to keep the connector attached and drove it the dealership where they fixed me up. I was hoping they had a new clip to buy but of course not. I had to get another one but it was only 35 bucks. Nice and sturdy now. So far no codes and she is still running like she always does.

Glad you got it fixed

Odd how it's the little things that sometimes cause what seems to be catastrophes...

thanks chris but I already ordered a vent for the passenger side. That way its 100% gone. The driver side has a oil separtor and does a good job so im going to elimate this problem tomorrow when I install the breather vent. I just need to get a plug first before i forget. I ordered it from brenspeed and it just arrived.
