Oil in the Intake manifold?

Recommended Posts

Im in the process of checking the fuel injectors & crossover housing for problems. I just took off the throttle body and it appears that there is oil? pooled in the bottom of the first "ring" of the intake manifold...Is this indicative of a engine problem? or is this normal?...I haven't a clue :)....thanks...I'll be back later with pics.

I believe this has been discussed before and Guru said its not and issue, I think it gets pulled in and settles in that area by the PCV circuit... I don't think its a problem. Do you top off with oil as it gets low to keep it high? I am only concerned with it being 'on' the stick not necessarily to the top of the range...

I top it off when it gets to be a 1-1.5 quarts low, and when I top it off I only fill it to the 1/2 way mark on the stick.

That is normal - it is nothing to worry about.
