V6 oil in throttle body

Normal ;)
It comes out the breather pipes. The Rover manual say "Wipe it out at the oil service interval" .
Catch tanks can be flitted but it's not worth the effort unless you are running the engine at 4000+ rpm for long periods!!
 
A couple of good posts there and the normal pile of cr4p too ;)
I fitted 2 catch tanks to my ZS180 but being a manual it ran at 4K + rpm for most of the time. The auto box fitted to my Freelander never let's the engine run over 3K in normal use.
I get a small amount of oil in my TB which is easy to clean when I change the oil.
The valves in my plenum are lovely and free with little wear on the ball joints. The plastic plenum can fail in a few thousand miles regardless of oil in the plenum or not. Some are just cr4p from the factory, probably due to the cost cutting by the parent company ;)
 
I have a MG ZT 190 with 2.5 V6 and am in the OC club for R75 7 MG ZT we have found out that when you do an oil changed if you try and keep the oil level in between min & max you get less oil ingress into the Vis Motors & the throttle body.

We also have a member whom along with another member have designed some upgraded boards inside the vis motors, he offers a great service on these items, uprated PCB's, motors and also self test micro switches

His star attraction is the balance vis with an oil seal so they get no oil ingress my MG ZT purrs with these fitted Arctic2

Oil level is important to help keep oil out of the TB. These improved vis motors sound interesting. I find drilling a 0.5mm hole in the outer face of the VIS motor housing also keeps the oil out of the motor housing.
