Why is there oil in the air intake manifold on a 2.5 x type jaguar?
You may have a intake manifold leak which is causing BLOWBACK ...if the engine has been pressured at one time or another you may have a leak at your manifold gaskets... You have upper and lower gaskets which are rubber and one way you can perform a check is to remove one end of your hose at the PCV valve and blow cigarette smoke into hose and check and see if smoke exits from under the intake. If this occurs you will then need to change the manifold gaskets... GOOD LUCK

Been a tech for quite some time now and I find this to be most accurate: my best answer is....so go, some blow.

Sorry for the bad luck, but it is now beyond repair.
What are head gaskets and what causes it to blow on a 96 Toyota?
Head gaskets seal the clyinder head to the block. Head gaskets usually blow when the vehicle has been run too hot for too long. Heat warps the cylinder head and gasket quits sealing, known as a blown head gasket. There are other reason for blowing a head gasket, but this one of the most common reasons.
