hmm, how much? I know I had some, but it wasn't too bad. you have Dave's old car right?
couple things you can try that I thought about and one thing I am going to do.
I put the jlt prefilters on both valve covers. my car isn't done, so I don't know how this will perform.
the other thing I will try if that doesn't work is routing the driver side valve cover to the port on the back of the intake by the t-body. you would need to run a T fitting because there is a hose going to that port from the passenger side fender. then the line off the passenger side valve cover I would put right into the intake tube like it is now. this would be very similar to the factory setup. may still need the hlt prefilter or a oil separator, but I am not 100% sure since I haven't tried these. so far I haven't seen any others post about this and haven't seen it cause any issues. some could also be blow by as well. that is common with boosted cars, but the worse it gets means the oil is getting by the rings.

its not getting worse not that much and it is coming from the pcv going to the intake tube and yes its daves old car thanks
just vent the pcv to atmosphere, ie run the tube behind the front tire towards the ground.

You can also route it into a catch can with a breather. You would be venting to atmosphere with no oil mess. Something like this or similar

nice Dave. where did you find it? I wouldn't vent it to the ground. between getting it splattered on the car, what happens going down the track? I can show pics of first hand experience of what happens when someone lays fluids on the track.
good call on the catch can...most likely just a little blow by and the catch can will grab it

I just did a quick search for breather catch can. My buddy runs one on his Turbo Fox and its a great idea and works awsome. Thats where I got the idea from Tons of companies make them, Moroso, Canton, Greddy etc etc. They range from like $50-$200+ depending on if you want AN fittings etc etc.
