Check the jubilee clip is tight on the throttle body and clean the breathers properly. It's blow back from crankcase pressure.

thanks for the quick reply are you talking about the breathers from the rocker cover?

Yes he is Mr Green, & also the large one at the rear of the rocker cover (cam cover) to the crankcase. Looking at your pictures you have definately got/had backpressure looking at that oil staining which incidentally, has come from the throttle body/air hose connection. 


BTW, I LOVE your Avatar!

Some oil mist coming into the throttle body via the breathers is surely normal, however clear the breathers are? (Never a bad idea to check/clean them out though)

The outside of our TB is much dirtier than that, but I don't care enough to try to clean it off.
