This is a quick fix if your PCV is crapped out and you want a cheap way to fix it.

Op, I copy/paste my response from another thread that still applies to your problem.

I just did a LS6 Valley tray conversion and installed a catch can to get rid of this PITA issue with the PVC. IMHO the money you would put towards a new PVC hose could be best spent in getting you the LS6 Valley tray and put a good chuck towards a decent catch can and just flat out eliminate this issue.
I will do the quick fix since you have the car show coming up and buy the catch can. Then do the LS6 conversion. I have the catch can only and it does a great job of controlling the oil inside the intake. I'm doing the Ls6 conversion soon.
jay where did you get yours from and did you put two on or just 1
I got mine from www.catchcans.comQuote:

did the hoses come with it or did you have to buy those seperate and does it do a good job of keeping the oils spray down in the engine bay (nothing drastic, just the lil spray that happens with these valves and lines)
I can't remember but im almost sure i had to buy the hose. If your problem is the PCV tubing/hoses leaking oil replace all the pieces with new rubber hose. I used a brass T fitting to replace the rubber Y that is behind the intake.Quote:

No problem. I will also remove the TB and clean all the oil gunk that gets accumulated in the TB and intake.Quote:
