2003 Chevy Cavalier 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 103k miles

My girlfriend's 6 cyl. 2.2L '03 Cavalier has 103k miles and change. While replacing the oil I decided to remove the air boxes from the intake to better reach the oil filter. Inside I found around a cup ( + or - ) of motor oil. It was not in the air filter, but was in the air hoses leading to the intake. I'm mechanically inclined but need some help with this.
Thanks.
