Inside The Valve Cover Question.
you are getting oil in your intake because you are using nitrous for boosting.
you are not way much pressurizing your head with a lot of boost, and forcing the oil out of the vent to the intake.

^^ I read that before I left work, so i tried boosting some nitrous on the way home. I boosted 10 seconds cumulative of nitrous, speeding up to 45 and slowing down to 25 in a 45 MPH zone with no cars in 2nd gear, about 3-5Krpm. There is no oil in my breather after doing this, and a bit of driving around. It should have come back already, especially boosting nitrous. But all that I was able to find was a bit of gasoline from my wet shot. I truely believe that vent being clogged was the source of all of my problems. With nowhere to drain oil from the PCV circuit, the oil was being pushed into the breather.
The PCV is a pipe that protrudes through the wall of the valve cover. The breather is a hole in the wall of the valve cover which is right next to the oil catch indentation. The car runs great when the MAF is free of oil. I've had to repeatedly clean it. It is very possible that I'll never see oil in my intake until that drain clogs again. It's basically an internal catch can.
It's possible when I blew up my freakin' intake with nitrous that alot more was ignited. It could be that my engine was filled up with nitrous and I had a internal engine fire that lasted just long enough to put cruddies all over everything.
Excessive engine pressure from nitrous, excessive blow by from rings, internal engine fire, whatever the cause..... after cleaning my pcv drain, there is no need for a catch can.

^^ Sorry, I meant to say there's no need for me mang! As long as the oil is recirculated through the engine it should be fine. To clean any deposits from my intake manifold, throttle body, spark plugs and other, all I have to do is run a shot of nitrous. The gasoline along with air flowing through, works as a solvant to clean up the intake. The nitrous will clean any buildup off the spark plugs, fuel, oil or whatever..

LOL... Don't forget to wet shot that nitrous! Gasoline will make sure everything is clean.
