Does it mean anything that I have oil in my pcv valve and the hose? Do I have a leak/crack somewhere? Is a little bit in there normal? I mean, that hose goes back into the mani so it would seem odd for that to be normal. I've had hunting and stalling problems with a bit of smoking...lots of cracked vacuum lines, Nistech thinks I may have a leaky #4 injector, and my head gasked looked to be a little crappy around #4.

I don't think its abnormal, I mean the PCV valve has a hose thats connects to the engine, and there's oil in there so, I don't think that's your problem.

Cool, there isn't much in there, I mean nothing dripped out when I removed the hose; theres just some residue coating the inside of the hose and a couple-three drops along the edge inside where the valve screws in. I just thought I'd ask before putting everything back together, thanks. I think my problem(s) mainly revolve around the dry rot of the air lines, and the head gasket. When I get it running again I'll see if Nistech was right about the injector if she still acts the *****.
