hey everyone, i pulled my intake apart yesterday and there was a good bit of oil pooled up in it. it seems to be coming from the breather hose for the valve cover. any thoughts as to what might be causing this? its a 96 5spd.

You sure it wasn't a valve cover not the intake?
Could be a clogged PCV or vacuum hose near the throttle body or on the intake somewhere. Hope this helps!!

Definitely something that has been seen before...check above suggestions first...if changing/checking vac lines and PCV doesn't help...get a compression test done...could be an indication of leaky valve seals...
But make sure also you're using the proper oil...
