it dont look like you have it connected to the valve cover if not the pcv system is not doing what its suposed to.
it has to be connected to the valve cover it wont work by just running it back in to the intake

look at where it says "fresh air vent", it looks like that brass fitting is where it goes into the valve cover

Does it interfere with the throttle cable...?
If it does, then replace the "fresh air vent" tube with a length of fuel hose and route it under the throttle cable and bracket...
You might need the right-angle bib that comes off the throttle body.

Go pick up like 6 inches of clear 3/8" hose. Connect it to the vacuum port on the intake, then connect it to the oil/air separator.
Then start the engine and let it get to operating temp and while its idling, see if you can see any oil being sucked into the clear tube and going into the intake. The suction at idle will be at its highest sitting idling.
Thanks
