Oil oozing from throttlebody?
When I took the plenum off, some oil sorta drained out from the throttlebody? Why is that and what do I need to do to fix it? This is on a 3vze 3.0 engine.

Probably oil from the valve cover vents.

OK, thanks, those link told me it's most likely the PVC valve clogged up, I will get a new one and use gumout to clean that hose, and possibly get a can for it later. Thanks.. I learn something new everyday
