Oil On Intake Manifold

I can't figure out why there is oil on top of my manifold.

I have replaced the pcv check valve, and the grommet where the pcv goes into the manifold. I put hose clamps on both sides of the pcv check valve.

There is a huge puddle of oil on my manifold. I can remove the oil from the top of the manifold and it comes back after a five minute drive.

Then it flows off the manifold onto the exhaust cross pipe and burns. Not cool.

Anyone else experience this?

What else can I do or check?

Thanks.
 
Check to see if you have a cracked turbo oil drain tube. Maybe a turbo feed line is also cracked. Loose bolt, letting splash oil seep from lifter valley. Cracked intake manifold. Bad valve cover gasket near the intake. Check the valve cover gaskets, first.
 
Thanks for the response. Could you tell me what you mean by
"Loose bolt, letting splash oil seep from lifter valley."

Thanks.
 
Check for oil leaking from the intake manifold bolts...the one's that hold it down to the heads. I had one that was letting oil seep past it. That means the intake manifold gasket isn't sealing.
