Oil in airbox???

[Riley!]

just been outside to pop my k&n replacement air filter in to find about 1 - 2 inches of oil in the bottom of my airbox. All together id say there was about a coke can full. Obviously i've cleaned it out but has anyone else come across this? The car has only covered 34k. Any ideas what could be causing this . . . i.e how can i fix it . . . .

id say a blocked breather at a guess mate, check breather pipes

 

[Riley!]

surely if it wasn't breathing rite id be getting some running issues

not always mate, that would be the easiest and most simple thing to check first

im guessing this as its pretty low mileage so if its only had short trips that could be the cause
