Stupid thing.
So I decided to take the intake assembly apart tonight for fun... I pull the plastic portion off the top of the throttle body, and to my amusement, I find an oily mess #1, #2, I find where my engine has been getting its clean air... around the gap where the ovular gasket seats around the top of the TB. Cute. Needs replacement, obviously.
I always wondered why my old air filter, with 20k miles on it, looked brand new. Hmm.
