Default serious problem(i think)please help

ok here is the problem, for some odd reason oil is flowing from my throttle body...since i found that out i replaced my head gasket and my intake manifold and got my head milled....do you think that will have solved the problem or do you think it could be something else like a hose ran to the wrong place on the intake manifold...please help

Are you sure it's not coming from the breather hose from the valve cover?

... & if your PCV valve is plugged up with crud, you'll get even more oily mess thru your breather hose. Check out your PCV valve.

What kind of engine? My Integra's PCV valve is hidden down under the intake manifold, so maybe you pulled the wire off the oil pressure switch while you were changing it???
