Default Could the PCV mod cause trouble after cam install

We put a large cam in my husbands WS6, 244/249,569/569,111lsa. and he has an oil leak. Could the duel fuel filters on the PCV cause an oil leak because of to much pressure created by the cam.

I'd say if the filters you used are too restrictive (I would think they would be), then you're building up a bunch of crankcase pressure which could cause oil leaks (among other things). Probably doesn't have a lot to do with the cam itself. I'd say dump the fuel filters and get a real PCV catch can.
