so went to replace the spark plugs, and while i had the intake pipe off i noticed a lot of oil in the pipe, a little in the bottom of the intake box, and a lot around the throttle body, what should i do to fix this?

You didn't tell us anything about the car. Looking at your post, I assume it is a 2000 XK8. There is a more specific forum for your car that you might check.
Just how many miles are on your car? Are you checking the dipstick; and, if so, how is your oil consumption?

 

2000 XJ8 with 86k on the clock, and the oil is fine, dark but fine

 

I looked at my air intake pipe because my fuel trims were quite a ways negative and found a lot of oil in there too, also the filter was oily below the intake pipe, as if the oil had dripped onto it (filter was new 1000km before), the pipe picture is upside down

So I read a little bit here and figured it might be a blocked part load breather, as the full load breather was not blocked.

I cleaned that with a drill bit in a hand-held bit holder and cleaned the MAF. Since then my fuel trims are back to approxiamtely zero and I'm using about 2-3 l/100km less :-)

Could be worth looking at. Have a search for the TSB on part load breather cleaning, its a bit of a PIA but had a huge affect on my car.
