I went to take of the black box out side the airfilter and i noticed that there was oil in the intake tube. There was so much oil in the dips of the tub that i could dip my finger in it. I dont think there is suposed to be oil there so what could be worng?

You can get the whole catchcan and breather filter through RRE. Or Autozone has just the valve cover breather filter (mini filter).

Check your PCV valve too. A little oil in the front of the intake is normal, but a lot of oil isn't. The valve cover is designed to flow air from in the passenger side out through the driver's side. If your PCV valve is plugged, pressure will build up in the crank case at higher RPMs and usually end up flowing backwards, leaving oil in the front of your intake tube and seeping out the edges of your valve cover gasket.

Kalani, I was thinking the same thing, since that is the only way oil can get in, unless you sprang a leak with no air can and just started sucking it all up :)
