Re: oil seepage problem?
You're likely talking about the issues dealt with in the leckemby.net procedure, mentioned many times on this forum.
The PCV results in excess oil in the intake plenum. Personally, I haven't seen this result in oil visible from the outside of the intake manifold. Is the oil fresh? Is there very much there? Actually, I'd more suspect a seeping valve cover gasket.
For the moment, I wouldn't worry about it if you've got no Check Engine light or drivability issues. My 2000 had problems with the isolator bolts - but it first manifested itself as pinging (I never got a check engine light for the 171/174 problem; pinging went away after I did the leckemby.net fix). I could have kept driving it for quite awhile, but got tired of needing high test gas or octane booster to get rid of the pinging.
