Yeah, that is common in almost all LS1's (Some are worse than others). Don't worry there are a few methods to fix that:
1- Catch can
2- LS6 valley PCV mod (More expensive)

Noticed lots of oil in the intake during the heads/cam install on my 02. I went with a catch can. Not enough miles yet to determine effectiveness. Do a search you'll find lots of info.
