So, last weekend I cleaned out the throttle body, EGR "hole" (coulnd't get the EGR itself off for cleaning) and the flame trap. There was oil everywhere in there - in the large plastic elbow that joins air cleaner to throttle body, and when I checked the spark plugs there was lots of oil under the cover. I am hoping that this clean-out helps reduce the leaks, but is there something else I can clean out? Currently put about a pint in every 1-2 weeks.

The oil cap gasket and rear mains were replaced last year BTW. 226k on the car.
