Default Oil smell from catch can set up...

On my boosted LS2, I have the rears T'eed and ran to the can and the can to the vacum port. I have the passenger front port plugged and an filtered oil cap. I am using a Revextreme can. I hate the smell and after hard pulls I have an oil mess. What's the best/easiest way to elminate this? Do I need to run a dual catch can set up? I don't have check valves anywhere but I think the can has a check valve in it?? Also wondering if the Revextreme can is sufficent enough for 13 lbs of boost??

After having numerous setups myself, my latest is my favorite. I have the valley cover connected to the intake with a check valve. The valve covers are vented to the atmosphere under the car. No blowby, no oil in intercooler, no oily smell or mess.
