2002 Ford Taurus

im recently having promblems with my car. when my car is idling it starts to choke and sometimes it cuts off on me. i have to hold the brake and touch the gas a little to keep it started. i took off my air filter to check my MAF to see if it was dirty and noticed off in my air filter. what can cause that and is that the reason for my car to be doing that

Check and test the PCV system-oil on the airfilter means its flowing backwards-PCV valve
