The LS1's are known for pulling oil from the PCV into the intake manifold. Easiest solution is a catch can, I got this one from thunder racing (sponsor):

I also did the LS6 valley cover mod. It's more involved, I would just do the catch can if I was you. You can read about it here if you want:

It all ends up looking like this:
