First guess is a bad PCV valve. 2nd guess is blowby. At idle, remove oil fill cap and feel for pressure coming out. Pray you don't have any. Then go find the PCV valve and see if it's stuck open. That, for this car, is about my limit...

There is no PCV valve. Make sure you are not overfilled with oil.

Oil in the intake track in pretty common on these cars. If you are worried do a compression test.

I'm going to be running a compression test and hope for the best. Now here's my question if the outcomes bad rings where would I be able to find a set of new pistons and rings for this car? Is such a thing available?

If it's bad might as well just get a uses block in good shape than replacing pistons and rings.

Btw how long have you had the car and did you do a compression test before you bought it?

Yeah that's not good. Are you reading 8.2 quarts in the cluster when the engine is off or on? And hot or cold?

7.8-8.2 quarts when the engine is on and trust me im freaking out. I can understand if I was beating on the car and something happened but the car was running fine When I parked it and then I go to drive a week later start it up and it's misfiring and smoking quite a bit. If I have to replace the engine where would be a good place to get one or just a block itself would work I could just swap everything over then

It still may be unrelated but you need to completely rule out the oil level first and do compression check before you get ahead of yourself. You don't check oil level with car on. You need to check it once it's warmed up and with the engine switched off after sitting for ten minutes.

Mileage means nothing. I have seen cars with 50k miles and the motor had bad compression. Whether its friend or family , it is a purchase so do your home work. Compression test is a must. Many cars these days are being sold cheap and have issues. Hope it works out for you bro

It sounds like you have too much oil in the engine. At idle the cluster shouldn't read more than 5 qts or so...if the sensor is correct. Drain the oil from both sumps, replace the filter (do this before draining the oil as it will let more oil run to the pan) Refill with 8.5 qts and see how it goes. It will take some time to burn off the excess oil in the breather system. Or, have someone competent (not jiffy lube) change the oil, be sure to ALWAYS use a factory filter.

Have the oil level checked with a dipstick. As I recall it should measure between 16cm and 17cm. Hopefully it's just an overfill.

I installed an oil catch-can years ago and the TB remains bone-dry to this day. Prior to the installation, there was always a slight oil residue.
