You definitely have a problem. You do know that they pcv stuff is under the valley cover right? So the only thing I can think of is maybe the pcv stuff under you valley cover isn't working correctly. Pull your oil cap off while it's running and see if you have air being pumped out. It should have a light suction to it if anything.

Yeah, I was referring to the u-shaped plastic connector, that goes to the intake manifold and engine block. It does definitely make me concerned to know how much oil is being sent up to the intake manifold.
I double-checked the plastic connector, and it definitely had oil in one of the ends (I can’t remember to which). I’ve used intake valve/engine top cleaner, bur I doubt that really helped to clean the intake manifold… although the first time I did it, a good amount of smoke did burn off and come out of my exhaust.
As of now, I continuously have to pop the hood weekly and empty the stupid catch can. The lines and everything all seem good; so at this point, I’m gonna assume that it might be an issue with the engine valley cover(?) (baffles?), or maybe something to due with the design of the oil catch can filter. It’s a replica of a genuine Mishimoto but I’ve got no clue.
If there’s nothing serious that can happen, I’ll try reversing the threaded fittings on the oil catch can itself tomorrow. I can’t remember which is the outlet or inlet, and instructions don’t specify/list anything; so this is gonna be a “semi-educated” experiment… lol
