Thumbs down Oil in the vacuum lines

I've been having spark know troubles, went to replace the MAP sensor, found oil in the vacuum line. Possible sludge problem causing the oil not to return to the pan, and causing an overflow into the vacuum lines. I'm going to pull the valve cover to see if the valves are sludged, any other suggestions would be great.

Before you go to extensive work and time, when was the last time you replaced the pcv valve? Did you look into the knock sensor?

Pastmaster I forgot to mention, I just changed the PCV valve less than a month ago.

Mine is ontop of the upper intake manifold, it should have several lines coming out of it. one goes to the power brake booster, another one goes to a t-valve, and one should be capped.
