I took the rubber cover that connects my air filter and my carborator off, to clean out my carborator with carb/choke cleaner, and it was dripping oil. I checked my air filter, and there is oil in that also.

thats a very common problem with jeeps. it doesn't really affect how they run so i usually just ignore it---unles you have excessive amounts of oil in there-then you need to get the rings replaced--or just get a new truck cuz thats a lot of work.. but if it runs ok i wouldnt worry about it

No there should not be oil in the air filter, How many miles is on your Jeep?
if there are a lot like 100,000 there could be blow by from the pistons. It may be the pvc value is bad.

No, engine oil should never be in the air box. Check your PCV valve. Good luck.

This is a result of blowby, the oil rings on the pistons are bad. This is very common with jeeps.
