PCV Oil Leak

So after finally getting in there Ive discovered there is a precipitous amount of oil leaking there. I took a picture thought it might be the Chain Cam Tensioner bolt. It is not.

I was going to install a http://www.saikoumichi.com double OCC. Id appreciate an opinion here if you might have one.

Car is gobbling oil.

Picture attached. TIA

Looks normal it the tube is not seated all the way in. Its not the PCV hose ( that's the smaller one ). Its the intake hose / pipe before the intake manifold. You can get a little bit of residue there. Pull the tube out and clean the connection , then reinsert and tighten up. You should not see any oil seeping till way down the road, all i can think of is a turbo oil leak inside and getting a bunch of oil in the intercooler and pipe system past the turbo. Have you checked the intercooler and turbo ?
