Lots of oil on the air filter

Hello all, just went to replace my air filter on my 92 RS 5.0 TBI and notice lots of oil on the air filter an at the base of the filter. The car has the following: 1 5/8 SLP header and Borla exhaust. Engine is stock.

Thanks for the response Wasp, yes the crankcase filter is in place and it's drenched with oil.
