First one... When I pulled the factory breather hose of in the back i noticed around the bottom of that connection there was a little oil or maybe gas ..... is that normal??

Well, oil is what you are trying to capture with the catch can, so I think it is normal.

Second question......at the other end of that hose where you take the other part of that line off is it necessary to take the throotle body off cause I can not seem to get to it ???

You do not need to remove the throtle body, although it is easy enough. You just have to squeeze your fingers in there.

So just to verify...I'm running a dual can setup . One catches the line from the valve cover (dr side)before the check valve and goes to the inlet on the can. Outlet goes to the check valve then 2" into the intake manifold port under throttle body.
Th other can catches the line tween the valve cover (pass side) and blower inlet (next to head unit, ecs style vortech). Inlet to valve cover. Outlet to blower head/filter.

All sound right?

Just pushed on, It's a faux AN fitting with a hose clamp under it. Don't tell anyone.
