Exactly where is the oil coming from?
How much oil?
He just installed the Airram guys, shouldn't be much oil inside it at all.

Just a little. Yeah there's some in the IM, but there was some where the gasket is. You know, like oil on the plates that connect together. I used a nice coat of gasket sealant around the edges of the holes. And I hooked everything back up. How long should I wait for the sealant to dry?

Dry per the instructions.
Again, this is the second time man, please do NOT quote the post right above yours.
If this doesn't work, do the brake cleaner deal.

I think he's hitting the "Reply button REDZMAN
Shark Pimp 69 hit the ADD REPLY button below it. If you click the "Reply button then you quote the post above you, which is useless.
Just make sure you tighten everything, drive it around, and then tighten everything again. You need to "seat" the gasket. This means you need to create a seat that the manifold sits in to create a good seal with no leaks.

I would think so just make sure that stuff is dry, I don't think it would be too good for the engine if it got sucked up. But then again it shouldn't hurt or else they would have a HUGE warning label and a time frame on the container.

if you are positive that all of your hoses and fittings are secure and tight and that your MAF is pointed the right way...
make sure when you put the TB back on that the washers go OUTSIDE? lol..that'd give you a leak
also, check the gaskets on both the TB and the IM, you have an air leak somewhere.
the problem should not be in your cruise/throttle cables because you have not touched them at all..
if you don't have a leak, but the problem is the stickiness in the butterfly of your TB, then what you should do is drive full throttle for awhile and then slowly ease off of the gas, (that way the butterfly doesn't "snap" back into place and then the next time you try to to take off "stick") and then come to a stop. then when you try to take off see if it still does it. when i first installed my tb it was VERY sticky and annoying, if you ever had the gas down and the just let off without EASING off it would stick really hard the next time you were at a stop trying to take off.
