So the last few weeks i've been bothered by this wobble...still haven't figured out what it is.....

It looks like it is coming from the CCV valve maybe. Having the spotting that far back has to do with the back of the motor. If you remove the plastic cowl, hiding the brake fluid res and the black plastic air dam on the firewall, you can get a good look behind the engine. There will be this black cone looking doohicky back there. Depending on how many miles and what motor you have, a lot of times the rubber hose wears out, causing oil to drip.
