Oil leak Ever since i had new heads and cam put on it seems i have an oil leak.
If i pull the intake there is oil around the intake port gaskets.
I also noticed a small pool of oil in the valves when looking into the head with the intake off. Is this normal.
The heads were new trick flow Vengeance. The heads came with installed springs and valves. I did not do the install a local reputable shop did.
Any help would be appreciated.

I can blow air through the tube that connects the valve cover gaskets and replaced the pcv valve less than a year ago because it is cheap. What am i doing wrong or not thinking of ? Even though the shop that did the install is good what could they have done wrong? Not looking to point a finger everyone has a bad day. I just want this problem to go away.

How old is the engine? It could be blowby getting into the crankcase and then exiting through the PCV. How about a compression/leakdown test or even installing a catchcan?
