Clean it and get a oil separater to stop the oil from going into the TB

JLT sells a great kit with oem connections. You will mainly need the passenger side separator that's where most of the blow back circulates through the TB and intake mani.

Yeah that's on the to do list but should I be getting a lot of blow by with only 15000 miles on it?

I'm thinking If its old oil, it could have broken down. Eccessive heat can also break down the oil.

IDK I don't think having blow by at 15k miles is good. I have no blow by at all on my 01GT with 150k miles. I know its a diferent engine and I do use high milage oil.

It's useless to use true synthetic oils and change at 3k amsoil and RP are the only oils I will use.
