Default oil film in intake, engine surging

alright here i go,
im new to this forum and i hope you guys might be able to shed some light on a couple of little ailments troubling my cruiser (02 touring, 5 spd, 35k)
ok actually it might be a little bit of three problems. 1st, i recently changed my plugs and while the upper intake was off i noticed a nice coat of oil along the inside of the intake runners, this prompted me to change the pcv valve. the plugs were very clean but showed definite wear. then when i looked at the egr return pipe that goes into the intake, i noticed a bit of a build up of crud which looked like, from what i have seen in the past, to be build up of oil going through the egr system. which brings me to my last problem, around 2500 rpm the car surges and seems to cut out.
by the way i am going to take it to the dealer because it is still under warranty, but i am just curious what everybodys .02 might be.
Thanks [^]
