sounds like it mate.
do you still have the standard inlet with the breather pipe from the cam cover feeding into it?

yes i do why could that be the problem?

if the car is breathing heavily it can push oily fumes, and in extreme cases oil into the inlet. that is usually a sigh of the rings or ringlands on the pistons being shot.

remove that pipe and run just a breather filter for a week and see if that gets excessively oily. if it does you have found your problem. also check your pcv valve is clear. its the other pipe on the cam cover that goes to the intake plenum, its a one way valve. should only pass when you suck on it.

remember to block up the hole where the pipe used to be on the efi pipe otherwise you will be sucking in unfiltered air.
