I pulled my TB out today, and in the secondary tracts there was a lot of oil. Is this normal? It looks almost as though oil is comming from the intake manifold because it stops at the first set of throttle plates. It seems to me like it should not be there. What can I do to fix this? Thanks.

Is normal. TIIs get it too. Is from the crankcase ventilation. You can clean it if you want but it will take for ever to clean out with brake cleaner, lots of them.

So you're sure that it is normal? It was only in the tracts for the secondary intake ports, My primary was all nice and clean. ???
