Oil in throttle body?

[Neizt]

Hi, was trying to clean engine bay up a bit earlier today, and noticed there was quite a lot of oil and oily deposits in the throttle body and air pipe.

Wondering if this is normal!

thanks in advance.

Yeah, mine was full of it.

Buy some carb cleaner from Halfords and spray it in and clean it out with a rag. Made a big difference too!

it's coming from the little tube on the induction elbow ; crank-case breather..

(i've disconnected mine , no more oil-guck messing up my TB )
