yup, i looked there , i cant tell if its my plenium , i posted there its the last post but no response, and when i look down my throttle body i cant really tell if theres oil or not and yes i used a flashlight, and i only have 1 of the symptoms wich is spark knock no loss of power of wich i can feel, and very little oil loss between oil changes

well i have the same symptoms. i havent really lost any power that i can tell. but if i get on it to hard it will start to spark knock and i run 10w40 castrol so i think its a lull to thick to just run out a lull leak. if you know your way around the truck pretty good. pull your throttle body off and take a better look. i used a cloths hanger and a shop rag and ran it down the back of the intake. when i pulled it out it was covered in oil. i cleaned most of the oil up and it ran pretty good after with no spark knock. but it came back after.
