It is not has hard as it looks.  When I was having the oil soaked airfilter 
problem I managed to master it.  Disconnect, the large intake boot from the 
throttle body.  Then disconnect the to hoses that go to the intake boot, I 
think one is a breather hose and one is a vacuum line.  Unclip the clips that 
hold the, uhhhhhh (i'm getting technical now) fuel system thing to the airbox 
and lift it up. Reach in and grab the old filter and slide it out, and under 
the intake boot, then up. Its kinda hard to explain on paper. much easier to 
demonstrate. Installation is in reverse of course.

This is good, you don't want to correct this as this is what is supposed to 
be doing. those are the oil squirters squritin oil,  keeping your cams all 
lubed up. and the clicking is the cams and lifters doing their job.
