Hey guys i've got a few worries hoping someone can help me out, might be a lengthy one so just bare with me!

First and the most of my worries, a couple days ago while i was removing the intake pipe off the TB to get to the water pump easier i found a decent amount of engine oil which had supposedly came through the oil breather connection on the intake pipe. I noticed the oil that was there was really dark seemed like it was from the previous service as i only serviced it 2 weeks ago and oil on the dip stick is much cleaner. Raised a few concerns though i'm not sure if the breather tube should be spitting out oil in the alloytecs or in any engine really?

Second, i have noticed the revs on idle is not steady (watching the needle on the dash) it seems to slightly move up and down close to a miss, thought this may have been from the spark plugs so i changed them but nothing changed.

Also i've reliased a weird noise like something electric closing and opening when slowing down to a speed hump, if i give i accelerate really lightly for a second it makes a noise as if something electric is opening guessing it may be the TB as its electric but just want to make sure :)

Any help will be very much appreciated!

the electric sort of clicking opening and shutting noise (if it's what i think you're talking about) is your TB. Mine has always done the same.

It's fairly common to have oil coming through your breather pipe, though thick black oil is never a good thing, it "may" indicate lack of oil changes previously.
Probably nothing major.

The rough idle is generally not a good thing, but there could be a number of causes.
a Coil breaking down, or oxygen sensors failing are probably the most common. a Good mechanic with a proper diagnostics tool should be able to plug in and work it out
