So I drove my 87 xj from oklahoma city to houston. Got here and now I've got a puddle of oil under my jeep. Checked my dip stick and I've got snot in my oil(maybe water). Xant find the oil leak. So I checked my intake box. I've got oil all in the bottom of it and my filter is all soaked. I have no idea why. The only way that could get in there is the hose on my valve cover that goes to the intake box. I'm gonna throw a new filter in. And plug that hole. And throw a small filter on the hose. And just change the oil out. I've heard all kinds of maybees. What's everyones view on this?

that is your coolant, you probably have a cracked head. plugging that pcv vent line or whatever it is called, isnt going to fix anything. I assume your coolant level is way down too?

The level is low. Ill prolly just throw more coolant in and clean out that manifold. And change my oil. Hopefully I can make it back to oklahoma city and worry about it then

That might finish the poor xj off...you obviously have a problem, refreshing fluids and going on a very long drive will not help at all.
