Oil in air intake box

Hi
During yearly filter change i found some oil in the air filter box.
Is this bad? Normal? What could be the reason?`

I also found a dripping bottom plug on my filter/pan on the tranny.
Would you recomend the britpart quickfix version steel pan?

Oil in the air filter is fairly common. Oil build up in the CSOV and/or secondary turbo, which is then blown back into the air box. Fairly common on 3.0 Thumbs Up

Not had any success with metal sumps. They are very prone to leaking. Stick with either a flush, or plastic filter
