I took my air intake off this evening and low and behold when I open of the throttle and stuck my hand in there I wipe out some tannish milky gooey stuff. 89 LX 302 Any guesses or suggestions why this has occured?

Hows the oil in your crank case look?
If its an oil water mixture being sucked into the TB from the valve cover connection, could be a head gasket.
Could be oil sucked into the TB from the VC and mixing with a small coolant leak from the EGR spacer.
Milky oil is usually a result of water and oil mixing somewhere.

The rest of my oil looks just fine. I just changed it Tuesday and no problems at all. I dont have an EGR anymore. Its been taken out. Just a crap shot but my K&N filter is sitting right at my MAF and I know it should be extended out further with more air intake tube but I do have a big induction hood on the car maybe moisture being sucked up through the filter and into the TB. I dont know. My coolant level is fine and all my oil is fine. I do have a oil seal going bad not exactly sure where. Tuesday after I changed the oil I put 4 QT of 10W30 and !QT of Lucas oil /seal conditioner. Dont think thats the issue though.
