Question oil in PCV valve...

The PCV valve is newer. and i can smell oil in that tube. its wet but not soaked or dripping...could it be my high performance air cleaner and valve cover breather, sucking in to much air pushing oil into intake???

PCV= Positive Crankcase Ventilation. It's supposed to have some oil in it, everything that flows through the PCV is supposed to be burnt up in the combustion process. Many people put a catch can in the PCV hose so less oil gets to the intake.

This^. I totally agree with the catch can. They're only $20 on eBay and it only takes 30 minutes and some creativity.
