coolant leaking into air filter

I bought an 08 a month ago. About a week ago I stared getting about 9 miles to the gallonat the most. The first thing I found was coolant in my air filter. I've also heard this is common I don't even know where to start

coolant or oil?
Your oil may have been over-filled.
Change the filter, clean the MAF sensor and keep an eye on it. If you can, remove the accordion tube at the throttle body and check to see if there is any oil in there. If so, clean it out and make sure you do a couple of high revs while driving to clear it all out of your engine.

Not common at all...lots of oil problems.....coolant is a whole different problem

Maybe check that the throttle body isn't leaking coolant into the intake....
