Default coughing up oil

My friend has a procharged car. And the other day after running her at the strip we noticed oil on the airbox, so we took it apart and there was oil inside the entire intake system. Its deffinently motor oil..so the chargers not leaking. The car still runs fine, no knocking or unusual ticks. You guys have any clue?

You really ought to do a search cause you'll find this is discussed alot and often. But since I'm typing I'll at least tell you the issue is the PCV system not being designed for boost. Alot of ways to resolve which you should do a search for.

Do a search on PCV setups for boosted cars
