Oil in air box?

[Kirk]

Hope this is ok, dont have the van anymore but was just wondering what it could of been.

I do not have this Plymouth Grand Voyager 1996 anymore but was wondering incase I ever come across it again or someone else does what the problem could of been.

The van ran fine when I got it, 2 hours later the spider gears in the tranny broke. Fixed within a week, car drove fine for about 8 months than just stopped working.

Paid about 3000 in repairs to get it running again. (map sensor, cat, basic tune up parts, lots of suspension parts and other various little parts) They said the map sensor was why it stopped working (180 dollar fix) but they continued repairing until everything on the car was “road worthy”

6 months or so later the tranny got weird. No power in drive but you could drive fine in 1st or 2nd gear up to 55 or so(it was an automatic)

We tried figuring it out but there was a pool of oil inside the air box under the hood, air up the hose into the maf area as well. I was done fixing it, I drove it another 2 or 3 days until it wouldnt start anymore and junked it. Figuring if it was the tranny AND something in the engine it wasnt worth it anymore.

I was just curious what could of broken that would of leaked that much oil into the air box?

Well, it could have been the pcv valve. It might also have been bad piston rings. Not a big Chrysler fan myself. Cheaper when you first buy them, expensive to keep running.
