It is oil. It is the blow by from the engine. If you want to prevent this, you need a catch can. If it continues, you will have a pool of oil in the ic and have crusted oil in the TB which can cause more problems

ic - intercooler
TB - throttle body.
Its nothing that throttle body cleaner can fix in seconds

WOnt change the fact you have blow by going into the intake. The only way you will stop that is with a catch can. They are simple to install and will keep everything free of oil. Just keep the valve the way you have it.

summit, jegs, ebay, basically any online parts stores. If you go with an ebay can, you will need to fill it with steel wool.
