ok so i was looking under the hood one day and noticed that the throttle body boot was collapsed. so being bored and with the need to really fix that right away i took it all apart. Upon further inspection i noticed a pool of oil in the bottom of the intake. to confirm i put my finger in the viscous fluid and i was corrct. so with the basic knowledge of auto mechanics i narrowed it down to two things and hoping that it is the lesser of the two. 1. the vacuum piping that assist in pulling oil to the top of the head is pulling too much oil in through the throttle body. one pipe ran from the front side of the throttle body the other pipe ran from the side of the valve cover to the intake manifold. when i installed the cia i really didn't change anything except put a filter on the back side tube. and left the other connected to the intake. 2. i got a bad piston ring that is throwing oil into the intake side (but there is no smoke on start up or during it's drive) but it still could happen. if any of you had this problem before please let me know my car is a 05 with only 30000 miles i take care of it and don't want to get a new car cause of a fudge up.

 

theory number one seems to fit... catch can time.

as far as I know, Oil in the intake it quite normal.

after all. it is a neon

 

seems pretty normal to me. my neons eat about a half quart of oil between changes each.
