Okay, I've got an 87 305 tpi formula with just a hair over 60k on the car, engine, tranny, everything. This I know because my parents are the original owners. They gave the car to me at around 50k and I've been driving it to and from school and to and from my job when I had one. I wrecked it back in february (360 into a fence) screwed up the passanger door, spoiler, the new TA tailights I had JUST put on and bent up my rear bumper.
Okay. Now the problem. I went out today hooked the charger to teh battery because it was dead the other day when I went out to start it. I pulled off the rubber intake tubing right after the MAF sensor and looked inside the TB. There was a little black liquid residue under the butterfly valve. I pushed the throttle linkage open and ran my finger through the liquid. It was Oil. <img src="eek.gif" border="0"> What the hell does that mean? Is it normal? What can I do about it? Thanks for reading through all of this crap.
