Oil in throttle/intake and air box?

it's not that hard, all you really need are some zip ties.

Also known as the Spring Loaded Tube 'O Death.

Take off your intake manifold, and try to pull that thing out. You'll find out why.

are you talking about that spring loaded tube that goes straight down from inbetween cylinder 3 & 4 intake manifold ports into the engine block?

yes

check the o-rings on the drain tube between the block and the intake manifold. if there's a vacuum leak there, that can happen.

I think if your oil sump was to be blocked, the engine wouldn't run after a period of rod-knocking noises and lifter ticks and everything due to no oil in the motor. Maybe the engine's due for a piston ring job? Cuz obviously it's spitting oil back into your TB and intake.

have the same problem, but not as severe, the filter has oil stains.

Hoping someone can give me a little insite on this problem I am having. The motor is a m20b23. One day it just didnt turn over. Found oil in the intake/throttle and in the air cleaner. Also once I did get it started it ran very rough and purged alot of dirty oil(not sure exactly from where) and tons of white smoke. This made no sense to me because the oil has been changed and is clear on the dipstick. There is no oil / coolant mix. Can the oil sump be clogged or blocked?
