i have the same issue, changing valve cover didn't help !
That's rather odd, have you any remedies to this issue then? Though I don't have that issue on my car, I would think either valvecover or that darn tube has to be the issue. It's gotta be a seal problem in my understanding.

I did read upon a post from here way in the back that PCV delete couldn't be a good idea. Best way to deal with oil going into the intake is to have a catch can installed. I haven't done it, yet, but I periodically inspect my intake valves to make sure carbon build up gets walnut blasted well.I basically spray some carb-cleaner to keep the valves clean upon every oil change. Doing what I'm doing, I've never seen oil spillage like this post is having.

I’m running water-meth so no familiar with carbon buildup.
but putting a catch can is a kind of PCV delete btw
i have a catch can, but also the plugs on the valve cover
I've seen something like this before and at that time it was due to too much internal pressure in the engine. Once caused by a bad PCV valve and the other was bad piston rings.

One of my valve is leaking ( not sealing properly)
I keep getting the leak down behind the engine and it collects at the bottom of the transmission. I’ve had this cover off 3 times now. Good for a few runs then it comes back. I even swapped to a blue felpro gasket but that curve seems to be the culprit even with RTV. Is there a better diagram on where to put the RTV and how much? Or is the 90 inch lbs torque not enough?
