Narrative:
While making an instrument approach to runway 27R at oak, a BE76 advised bay approach that he would 'sneak through a hole' to reach the airport. I was issued a traffic report for the BE76 while still above the clouds. The BE76 was issued a traffic report several times, but did not respond. While IMC, I was issued another traffic report by oak tower. Upon reaching VMC, the BE76 was issued 'traffic 9 O'clock position 1/4 mi.' I never had a visual on the BE76 and no other actions were taken by ATC.
