Why is my new intake soaked with oil even with a new catch can?

The way I was suggesting to use it that would have been its purpose.
Well that goes to show you how well I know this system works.
I pulled the hose and checked the tube on my TB with a qtip and no sign of oil residue. I may still place a clear in-line gas filter in the hose between the TB and valve cover just to see what it collects.

That's good. May have to do w/ the type of valve cover you have. Regardless, there's no need for an in-line filter once you've confirmed no oil in line, nipple & throttle blade from that location. Usually, guys running (properly installed) catch cans that are still getting oil in intake, it comes from passenger side valve cover line.

Ok so I pulled my TB off again yesterday and still oil soaked in the intake after the RX mini breather installed on the oil cap. Checked the instructions and if you have their complete kit the breather is the fresh air intake. Took everything apart and blew out all the PCV lines to clean them out.
- You need to cap the TB inlet and the front port on the passenger side valve cover now with this breather (it's actually a check valve).
- The RX can has a PCV valve built into it, so I removed my stock one but you don't have to.
- I then pulled the flarred grommet that holds the PCV valve off, it's on there good but it'll come loose without breaking anything.
- Then pushed my hose back on to the OEM tube and the RX can.
