The hose from the manifold goes into the side, and the hose going to the back of the motor goes on top right????

Thanks sir. I guess my motor just doesn't use oil through the PVC system like everyone elses. 20,000 miles and nothing. Thats why I thought it was on wrong. I appreciate the help.

Try changing the PCV valve. If you weren't getting oil in the intake, why'd you get the can?

I didn't check to see if I was getting oil in the intake. I just read everyone elses horror stories and went out and bought one. I will try changing my PVC, should need it soon anyways, at 75,000 miles right now.

You're not the only one. I haven't noticed a drop of oil on my 02 SS, even had the throttle body off a while back for a port job. Just for giggles I installed the new updated PCV anyway that is supposed to slow oil consumption. I still see nothing. I take the hose off from time to time just to look at things...
Now on my 00 SS I recently purchased, I just had the throttle body off for a port job as well. I noticed a very small oil film on the bottom of the throttle body. Further inspection inside the intake showed a very small amount of oil film,,,but nothing I would consider excessive at all.
Not bad though, and I really don't even notice the oil level moving much between changes... And this car has less miles than the other car that has no issues,,,,go figure.

Well I can't bitch because its a good thing that there is no oil. But I am out the money. Oh well, shit happens. Better then having the damn thing fill up every month or so.

I know when I took off my TB for porting it was thick and chunky. I took a rag soaked with carb cleaner and stuck my hand up there and cleaned it out. I changed the pcv valve with the truck one. My local fbody buds have them and they get out quite a bit of oil but they have 01-02s. Remember my pcv valve system is different on a 98,
