ok...this is about my dad's new used 96 jetta he purchased...I did a full tune up this morning...(I hate working on VW..you should of seen what I had to do just to swap the spark plugs) anyways...I go tot change the airfilter and I find oil in there..disconnect the intake pipe and there is like a good amount of oil in there. What does that mean? ANybody know..its a N/A car completely stock..is something messed up?

 

that is ******* strange. pull the pipe off the throttle body and see if oil is there also.

man if my dad found oil like this he would give me one of thoes speches. "thats from hot rodding that car," "you and all your little friends drag racing" or some thing like that.

 

Let Me guess it is a 2.0. On the top they have a round black plastic piece that is atop the valve cover. They have hoses going in and out of it. Remove it. BE CAREFUL IT BREAKS EASILY. That is your problem. It is similiar to a breather filter/pcv valve. Only the dealer stocks them. I would probably buy it first before you take out it probably will break. I broke two of them after being told

 

A friend actually had this problem with a greddy kit that he was running. It turned out that the seals in the turbo were shot, letting the turbo spit oil into the intercooler piping and intercooler. The car did not smoke, which was strange. We only noticed it when we pulled off his piping to straighten out some bent fins on the intercooler. I dont know jack about VW's though, so knowing those cars its probably something designed to do that.
