should oil be getting up to my vacuum block? i guess the pcv line is where it is coming from(obviously). i was putting on the RJC power plate today and i removed the vacuum block to make it easier and i got a nice little puddle of oil when i lifted it up. im not sure if this is normal.
 
sorry. i didnt even think of searching for this topic first. found some stuff to read up on now. please post replies here also.
i do have some pics of the install of my power plate. in the pictures of my manifold before and after i put the power plate on you can see a little bit of oil where the vacuum block would normally sit not much though since i wiped most of it up before i took any pictures. when i first pulled it off it created a little bit of a puddle, like i said before.

is this what a normal 160,000 mile manifold and plenum would look like or do i have excessive oil coming up through my PCV valve?

if clicking on the link doesnt work then copy and paste it in your address line. not sure why just clicking on it isnt working
 
Kirban makes a turbo bypass kit. When I replaced my turbo bell I removed the hose from the passenger side valve cover and replaced with a small breather...no more oil in the throttle body. Kirban also sells an in line check valve for the PCV haven't tried it but it's only about 20.00
 
thanks for the help. i already have a breather on the passenger side valve cover though:D
