Hi guys ... I need your help badly

I'm driving the 2LT V6 2012 Camaro
My car loses oil (Around 1-2 liter per 150km)

- Car exhaust without bad smoke only if the RPM is above the 3k.
- No damaged spark plugs even after 3 months of the problem.
- RPM is stable.
- No oil on the outer side of the engine or leak points.
- No oil on the ground (Car not leaking oil out).

But I found a huge amount of oil on the end of the air cleaner hose !!!
Kindly check the attached pictures, and tell me what should I check before considering to open the whole engine

First you need our E2 or E2-CX catchcan system, the dual valve WITH cleanside separator. Then if the car is earlier than a 2014, you need to perform the drill mod to the PCV barb located at the rear of the passenger side valve cover. Your PCV barb is most likely plugged allowing oil to push backwards out the cleanside of the PCV system.

After you have installed the system, and have driven 1000 miles if rings free up your oil consumption should slow considerably. Do you only use a full synthetic oil? (never a blend). How may miles? Search here for "V6 Manual intake valve cleaning" to see why and how to clean those valves. Do NOT use an engine running solvent based cleaning!! Damage will occur.

Let us know if you need more guidance.
