Took the filter off my cold air intake today and found a puddle of oil sitting in the chrome tube leading to the intake manifold. When the car is running, ever just at idle, I can hear a gargling noise coming from the intake. Assuming this is oil getting tossed around inside the tube. Any idea what could be causing this? (The engine was rebuilt less than a year ago (still under warranty) and since the rebuild I have also been having an issue with what seems like an intermittant vacuum leak. Sometimes when I start the car, the rpms drop to almost zero, then everytime I stop whether in neutral or in first with clutch engaged, the car almost stalls.

Sounds like you have a problem with your fuel injectors, either they are working to much or not enough once they get warm....
Take it to a shop ant tell them you want the injectors tested.

check you dont have a split in the corrugated pipe from the maf to the swirl chamber (the big black plastic tank attached to the inlet manifold) or a leak into the intake somewhere, doesnt have to be a small vac tube.
Also you may have a sticking TB butterfly as my learned friend suggested.

I would suspect a mount. Either motor or trans. Also check lateral mount on top of motor to firewall. Good luck and have a great day.

Your car may not have recieved a recall on 02/201998 on the vehicle speed control recall id from NHTSA98v035000. the throttle shaft ball bearings on the sensor side of the throttle body assembly was not insalled in certain throttle bodies. Operation of a vehicle with a missing throttle shaft bearing can eventually lead to an incomplete return of the throttle valve resulting in a high idling condition. 61115 vehicles were affected. Take vin number to dealer see if your vehicle has been inspected for this missing bearing.
