Sandy,
IIRC there has been some discussion of this over the last couplamonths
and IME it was determined that yes oil does vent into the intake via the
rubber hose from the valve cover connected to the intake hose.
Oil in the intake is "supposedly" good for the environment but not for
performance.  It also coats the intake system, including the intercooler
with oil.  So, I would like to keep my new intercooler clean.
It should be noted that it is prolly more of an issue with high psi cars
(and red cars too;)
