I pulled the tb and looked down there and there was some oil. When i would rev it up I could hear something rattling when it would return to idle and turns out that my Pcv valve was broke so it was letting oil into the intake. I got a new one and put some stuff to clean out the cat in the gas so well see what happens (Probly end up gutting the cat and doing the non fouler) I also cleaned all the oil I could get out of the intake with a paper towel so if much more shows up I'll know it's the plenum. When I get the $ I might get the Hughes plenum plate kit and fix that too just because

I would. When I looked down the tb I didn't see much oil, but when I used a mirror sure enough just like zman said to do sure enough there was the oil pooled up in the rear. Definitely worth fixing when you have the funds, my truck feels almost like new. Was worth the time to fix. If I had to do it again I would.

And buy it form Hughes. It is about twice the price, so it has to be better!
