Default H/C cars...Metco drip oil after running hard?

Just got through making some tuning runs. Ran the car hard all the way to 6700 in 4th gear checking my tune at least 4 times. After I got home I smelled oil burning. Opened the hood and found my Metco Breather had dripped alittle oil on the header tube. I pulled it off an cleaned it, but what have you guys done to stop it. PCV is in place in terms of LS6 valley cover and catch can. Any input is appreciated!

I have not noticed oil dripping from my metco, but it was just put in recently, I'll check tomorrow after a nice hard run

Looks like the engine produces more blow-by than the PCV system can handle.

I agree. I don't think it's anything to worry about.
