    This car just had a service 3rd since coming off the factory line. Today I pulled off one of the hoses and discovered a **** load of oil. I pulled off the ir intake from the throttle body and found about a tablespoon of oil as well. What do you think considering its still under warranty, shouldn't this be discovered in its 3rd service??

    The PCV system is working as intended.

    If youre concerned about the amount of oil in there, use a catch can. But a teaspoon sounds perfectly normal.

    Average service doesn't involve taking off inlet piping or looking at the throttle body (just a filter change), that's probably why they haven't discovered it. If it's still under warranty ask Holden, you won't get a definitive answer here.
