Oil In the Air Cleaner Housing

Could someone tell me where oil would be coming into the air cleaner from? The side the PCV comes in is dry (I put a new PCV in a couple of months ago). Is there a breather or something that comes in on the passenger side of it that could be failed?

Check the hose coming up from the passenger side valve cover. As for what to do about it.......

You've got me, I've been fighting the same thing with my '83 hatch. I've been all over my PCV system to no avail. You can disconnect the hose from the air cleaner. it will make a mess in the engine compartment, but that beats a mess in the air cleaner (which is running out onto the front of the motor.)

I figure my rings are just getting tired, I'll live with it til' it blows......
