Working my way down to the intake manifold -- I decided to take the TB off. It's got oil coming through, and I don't mean vapor. A compression test may be in order when it's running again.

Common causes, anybody?.. Or just. Piston rings?.. Something that I've never done before and can't afford.

I *can* install a catch can to try and protect the throttle body electronics.. It seems pretty bad.

Oil's not that overfilled. VCT sensors are siliconed into the valve covers to stop leaks..
