Oil in Intake

[240RB1]

i removed the air intake on my convertible and it was full of oil it was puddled in the intake valves and the lower part of the intake was pooled haha. how does oil get in down ther? i have a new pcv valve and i even replaced the breather seperator box and nope its still puddling it litle by little which causes the motor to burn oil like a sif it seems like i am burning out driving down the road, please help i dont want to give up on this car but this motor is pushing it

You need to check the compression on all 4 cylinders, and then do a leak down test. You probably have either internal engine problems or you have a head gasket problem. The only way to get oil into the intake like that is for the oil system to be pressureized by cumbustion gases.

Your performance has probably also gone down lately.
