PCV (positive crankcase ventilation?)...there's a rubber tube that goes from your passenger side valve cover to the throttle body (on the passenger side). The flow of air through the throttle body creates a slight vacuum so oil is being sucked/vented from the valvecover to the throttle body. This is how our cars vent positive pressure from the motor.

I have the ls6 valley cover with a catch can and still got some oil through the pcv system. Getting ready to just cap it off. Already installed breathers on both valve covers.
