I took off my throttle body and found a yellowish puddle in my intake manifold. and as far as i could see in it i could see the yellowish liquid. it felt kinda oily. What is it and what caused it?

What you are seeing is oil mixed with water likely from condensation , this is introduced from the pcv system. You need to change your oil more frequently in the winter to prevent this water build up. This condition is more common in the winter when temps are lower and maybe short duration trips where the vehicle has not gotten up to operating temps to burn water vapour off.
