More than likely it is coming from your PCV setup. I had to fix mine. Unless the inner seal in the blower housing is leaking oil into it. Also the G trims vent off the bearing case.

I use a billet vc breather w/ filter on the pass. side in place of the filler neck and a Moroso vc breather on driver side...was going to originally route hose from the Moroso to the exhaust thru a check valve, but never did...I have very little oil spray from the Moroso...have the fitting aimed at the white firewall so I can easily see what it emits...there are very lengthy threads on pcv set-ups available w/ a quick search...good luck
In regards to the oil in the intake pipe, how much is it and do you use a K&N filter?
