Default Oil leak outta intake?

I just recently a few oil drips beig left behind on the ground. So i crawled under and looked and couldn't find anything and then i noticed that the intake filter was covered in oil. so i took the intake off and cleaned it out. i also replaced the pcv valve. But unfortunatlly two days later i noticed oil again. i found out that the oil is leaking outta the other hose that connects to the intake mid way. there is no valve or anything that i noticed to prevent this. so does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it

nope its a non turbo rs all seals look good from what i understand about engines this hose that is leaking is just supposed to force air back into the intake to complete the cycle, ( go in the intake pcv valve side then the other side would be the breather on a muscle car) but donno if its the same on these things

Hmmmm... not sure. My next guess would have been the PCV valve but you changed that... Alright well, i am not too sure about this next idea... Not sure if a non turbo RS has a hose coming off the valve cover that connects straight to the intake pipe, but if yes unplug it off the intake pipe and connect it to a bottle to see what happens. Check and see if you find oil in there...
