oil in runners!
Has anyone else had pooling of oil in the runners. I pulled the plenum and runners on THurs and found about a tablespoon of oil in the runner of 6 cyl. and lots of misting oil in the plenum.

Any opinions.

How many miles on the motor and how old is the PCV valve?

Either there is to much crankcase pressure (bad PCV) or you have a ring sealing problem. Stock valve covers. You need to have baffle if they are aftermarket valvecovers. You may be sucking oil out of the valve covers if there isn't any baffles.
