Default Oil in Intake Manifold

Today i took off my throttle body to adjust my TPS....

When i looked inside my intake manifold, i see oil.

What is the cause of that?

x2, a clogged PCV valve will end up forcing oil vapor into the throttle plate and manifold through the vent line in the intake arm.

Bad rings allow oil to enter the chamber, not the PCV.

Bad compression rings can allow more blowby, which can overwhelm the PCV system. Especially if the PCV valve is also marginal.
