In most cases the oil is from too much pressure in the crankcase. The problem could be with the PCV valve or the piston rings could be weak.

SOURCE: Oil in the intake manifold air hose...

This is usually an indication of "blowback" caused by worn piston rings. How many miles on the engine? There is not a cheap solution if it is blowback.

I went to change the thermostat. When I removed the throttle body I found oil and water in the upper intake manifold Also I did not any water on the dipstick. Any ideas?

Oil in most cases is normal, it circulates, in the recycled emissions, water could come from the rain, if intake pipe is low to the ground it can suck it in, if you have an aftermarket Turbo, it definitely comes from the air intake,

Would oil in the air intake body on a 1994 Geo Prism be a sign if a bad PCV valve?

Martin: and still no engine size stated, 4a or 7a toyota, it IS.
the oil there is normal. the PCV sucks , engine piston ring bypass
guesses and oil vapor. of the top of the engine, and burns the so the humans dont need to.
see your other anon post for lots of simple solutions.
that sputter is called MISFIRE.
misfire has many causes.
1: bad spark, needs a tune up. ever do the 60k mile this decade yet?
2: bad fueling, too much too little. (injectors leak? or clogged)
3: intake, leaks. vacuum leaks. you for got the DTC errors this post
4: bad compression on one or all cylinders.

do a full tune up first the wonder?

Oil in air intake and throttle body

The oil in the intake is likely coming from the pcv valve- blowby. This oil shouldn't cause any stalling problem although it can give some blue colored smoke from the exhaust. A car that runs is worth fixing.

Oil Leak

I would change the air filter, the valve and possibly the oil cap. Also, change your oil filter, it may be clogged. Keep an eye on it just to be sure there isn't anything more serious.
