Default procharger d1sc oil problems?

well it all started when during a moment of weakness i blew my oil dipstick and spewed all over my engine before i ever had a chance to put it in fourth. im now seeing oil around the fresh air hose at the intake hat. is it possible i experienced enough blow by to send oil to the plastic intake hat and shoot my oil stick? whats the commom setup to help this? im thinking a check valve on the fresh air hose, or running to catch cans. one for the pcv and one for the fresh air hose. i need to pull my hoses to see if i shot any oil on my mass air flow. i was thinking i had bad ringlands but maybey its just some good old blow by. ill run it till it grenades i just want to keep the oil in the motor. any ideas?

OIl can indeed weep if you have a lot of blow by. We've used these filters on quite a few cars and have not had any long term complaints about oil seeping from them.
Anything that is not 100% sealed can possibly shorted the life of the oil, but normally it is releaving pressure. Bob
