Are you sure it is oil and not coolant?


You probably need a catchcan on the hose running from the valvecover to the intake.

It's from the breather line going from your valve-cover -> intake throw a catch can in that line and you'll no longer have that problem

It's 'normal' unfortunately. A catch-can is really your only option, stop the oil from the PCV system from getting into the intake tract.
