Hmm, normally you shouldn't be getting that much oil coming out of the BOV.

it is a pretty good amount... it was all on the hood cause of the bov is sitting beneath the vent...i mean its not like a quart of oil its like mist of oil build up

Install a catch can

That should do the trick. Staright off of AMS' website.


"This intake can be ordered in two different configurations. The default configuration is WITHOUT breather bungs for the crank case and boost control solenoid. With this set-up we recommend an oil catch can for the crank case and venting the solenoid to the atmosphere. This will not effect your EVO X's performance negatively in any way. "

Oil Catch Can will fix this
the line from the valve cover vents into the factory airbox, if you've moved stuff around, then it is likely that you're spittin from the BOV. If you pull the line from the Valve cover, the end of it will be wet, guaranteed.
The way it is from the factory, you're spitting oil back into the intake. This causes buildup in the system and a catch can is healthy for the car regardless of setup.
