the PCV takes air from inside your rocker cover (containing lots of oil droplets) and dumps it in your throttle body to be burnt up.

yeah, give it a week and the oil will be back. Its not big deal and there isnt much you can do about it anyway.

dirty ISC on the other hand is a big deal.

Worn rings (blow-by) can cause this issue, as will driving at WOT (wide open throttle) often - under these conditions, crankcase vapours will be pushed/drawn into the throttle body instead of the inlet manifold.

My turbo BA suffered this,the ford bloke said the turbo donks just had plenty of blow-by from the factory :x :x :x

Fitted a oil catch-can...problem solvid

Some blokes say put a medium of some sort in the catch can,I tried it without any,works fine,I just added that red elbow you can see in the happy,that just made the vacuum return higher,just to make sure the atomized oil droplets have a better chance to fall in the can

vik...TB is clean as a whistle now 8-) 8-) 8-)

i don't see why to bother with the catch can if your car is NA, the oil going into the intake doesn't do any harm.
but then yours is turbo so the oil vapours can condense in your intercooler and that - which isn't good.
