I have a 2003 cavalier 2.2l 5 speed and I noticed it had small amount of oil in air filter system my car has 150000 miles on it but it doesnt seem to burn oil cause it still marks full and it dont smoke. I wiped it clean and it did it again, the amount doesnt get more then a really small amount but I just want to know what is causing that or is it normal?

Have you checked or replaced your PCV valve? If this is plugged it will do allow oil to get into the air filter.
