The previous owner installed valve cover breathers where the pcv valves were originally but they dont seem to be the correct size but to get to the point after driving for a while when I check the engine theres always a small amount of oil that has come out of the breathers and leaked on the valve covers? Is this normal? I'm thinking about putting the pcv valves back on, I'm not sure where the hose on the driver side pcv valve goes into? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

That's the down side to running breathers. The driver side PCV goes to a Y line. One end goes to the back of the blower and the other end goes to the bottom.

My car does the same, spits oil all over the place if I run breathers. I don't want ANY oil getting into the intercooler so my final setup will likely be a catchcan vented to the atmosphere.
