Completely normal. Its the crank case breather blowing vapor back in.

Vapor is visible, a quarter cup is A LOT. I'm thinkin fried valve seals, or if the PCV valve is stuck shut then everything is venting through the valve cover and its blowing out a lot more than normal.

ok well the pcv valve is fine checkd it last night so im gonna change the oil and clean the spark plugs and see what that does
reason for the step down is that i think i put synthetic in it change before last so the conventional might not be able to stand up to the heat

why would u do that in the first place....the original oem airbox has a tube going from the filter box to the valve cover anyway...when u get an aftermarket intake u still connect a tube from the intake to the valve cover...is that bad???? i have it connectd too and dont see why i wouldnt.. n i dont have oil in my intake.
