I recently had an issue with lots of oil getting in the plenum of my intake which resulted in occasionally smelling oil burning. I determined that it was coming through the metal tube from the PCV and going in the front of the intake. I installed a catch can and now that problem is resolved. I also did a leak down and it came out perfect so blow by was not the issue.

I meant to add above. Pull your TB and see if the inside of the plenum is coated in oil.
