  23:1 CR creates a LOT of suck on the intake stroke, NA or TD.  Just put 
your 
hand over the intake sometime and see, but be careful or you'll get a big 
hickey that you'd rather not have to explain.  ;-)
  It's "normal" to find some oil pooled in the intake regrettably.  Notice 
and 
there are drain holes drilled in the bottom of it to pull the oil into the 
runners so it won't just accumulate and slosh around. 
  If the air filter was a little dirty and 5 quarts/L were put in then that 
sure 
could do it, especially when you add in the non-Y breather setup.
  A 1.5 technically only requires something like 3.8 quarts of oil I think.  
Four works just fine unless you make it 5 then you're more than a quart 
over!  He probably put in 5 quarts.
