Rep Power: 0 Oil in air filter
Honda Civic 99 Si.
I have an aftermarket K&N air filter.
What are the causes for engine oil on my air filter and in the tube it attaches to?
I fear I'm screwed.

The oil is on the inside of the air filter and exhaust tube that its connected to.
I took the air filter off to clean it and noticed.
No i have not checked the PCV tube or valve connected to it.
It didn't occur to me.
I just looked up what a PCV valve does.
What exactly am i checking for?
Why would this valve being broken cause oil in my air intake?

Re: Oil in air filter
Whatever you do, make sure you clean the throttle body and intake out well. Can you take any pictures of the problem?
