i'd say change your PCV valve that's nothing out of the norm though, that's what ppl get Oil CatchCans for

agreed...oil catch can is nice. May also tell you if there's a problem (like excessive moisture or blowby).
I've heard a few people worry that the oil was being a top end lube. But the PCV valve doesn't necessarily vent evenly to all cylinders and there's very little of it (at least on mine), and engine oil isn't the best thing to have in the intake and combustion. I'd rather use something in the fuel for lubing.
