Oil in my intake??

*Did a quick search found nothing*

Pulled the intake mani off today to clean the darn EGR valve out and there was some oil in it . Not a whole lot but enough to make me worrie about it. So i checked the plugs and they looked clean but i dont know what could be causing this... PCV valve??? I plan on checking the compression tomorrow just to make sure the rings aren't shot but any input on why this is going on would be helpful...

Its been discussed many times. Some oil in there is normal.

This is the 00+ and you can see it in there.

it didn't look that bad.... i guess it could be blow back from the EGR valve?? Don't think its a cracked piston that should cause the car to run rough, which it doesn't out side of the fact the gas mileage is not what it once was and it burns a lil oil which i feel is normal for a car with over 130K. Guess i will just have to keep an eye on it... thank you
