you sure that the tb wasn't dirty or oily and it's just "escaping out". How's your oil level, what's the oil consumption?
 
Ok, this is whats happening.

After a hard run thru cones (solo2) my car starts to jolt as if it was to be misfiring but in reality is oil getting into my intake and being dispensed out the exhaust and the oil that doesnt go out the exhaust some how drips of the intake, Last weekend it happened and I changed the oil and PCV valve also, my oil filter too. This past weekened it started doing the same thing. I doubt is my PCV valve since I did replace it the weekened before this past one. I went to O'reillys today and they said it could be the PCV Valve sticking may need to change it, but I will tomorrow and see what happens, it never happened with my jeep TB before I took it out again and completely bored it to 60 from 55mm and match my air intake aswell about a week after doing that everything started happening. What would you think it could be??? and BTW my oil is getting lower and lower. Tomorrow I will refill one quart of oil from this past Sunday and here it is Wednesday needing oil thats how much oil comes out after running hard, it is pretty darn weird to me but any suggestion on what to do will be appreciated and I appreciate you for taking your time in reading my Problem here Thanks. I also noticed since I went to O'reilly that in my radiator fluid there were tiny bubble of oil coming up I counted maybe around 20 tiny specs and that was it. Also I replaced my upper radiator hose since it was cracked and radiator was near empty Damn!!! Anyone thinks that perhaps this could have something to do with what I been experiancing with the car??? Thanks For taking your time and reading my question here any suggestions once again are appreciated here.

running the car for any real length of time without coolant in it can possibly cause headgasket failure. The hose could have ruptured just from age, oil contamination on the outside/inside. The oil droplets in the oil I think would be a sign of concern if it was me. As far as the oil pooling up in the intake/ air filter I would think its blow-by. I would say check for compression or do a cylinder leak down test which requires the proper gauges. you can also do a chemical test for a headgasket which checks for carbon monoxide in the cooling system but the tool and special dye is around 110 dollars.

edit- Oh wow i just realized mnyself how old this thread was. Saw it pop up in the recent discussions and just didn't pay any attention to the date.
