Well, I've been thinking your intake was sucking oil from the PCV all
along. However, the photos of the intake gaskets did seem to make it
look like you -might- be sucking oil on number 1 port and that could
possible bleed it to all the other ports on that plane.
Just for sake of being on one side of the fence. I'm going to stick
with the PCV. If I'm wrong, I'll have Mad Dog owe you a beer. :)
