Default Oil Smell on Procharged C6

I was wondering if anyone else has experinced this. I've got an 06 vette with a Procharger. Under boost there is a slight oil smell almost like the crankcase is getting pressurized slightly. I checked the installation and everything looks alright. Any ideas?

Not sure how the Vette setup is, but I was actually blowing the dipstick out under boost on my car. I ended up putting a check valve in the tube running from the TB to the valve cover.

Please don't take this the wrong way but i have been looking at others FI setups recently and I am wondering how you only managed to trap 126 with that much power/tq? Street tires?

Finally fixed it. I added a power brake check valve in between the intake manifold line and the pcv valve. No more oil smell.
