Exclamation Smoke coming out of my air lid.

I had my hood up from when I came home from work because I like to let it cool down, and I was going to clean my engine bay. I start it up back it out of the garage and I turn the car off after I moved it.

I look at the engine and I see smoke coming out of my air lid (I have the clear/transparrent MTI air lid). I took the lid off and I opened the throttle body blade to see if any oilwas in the intake and on the back of the blade and there was some, I swipped it with my finger.

Could it be something to do with Crank case Ventilation, something to do with the PVC system.

How do I fix this?

My mods are full bolt-ons, TSP Forged 347 long block, Stage 1 PRC CNC LS6 heads with a 233/239 cam with an LS6 intake; if this helps?
I do have a catch can.

Thanks, after doing some research I'am going to delete the PCV system and get some breathers for my oil cap and one for the valve cover on the rear driver side.

is this a daily driver? if so do not ditch the pcv system. you will have to change your oil all the time, allot sooner than 3,000 miles.
