Vin - now you know why the other night I was showing you what I was trying.
And no the thing your pointing to is not the PCV valve. That has a plastic hose that connects to and goes over the driverside valve cover, but there is no PCV valve there. The valve is located on the drivers side, look at your breather cap and go back from there, you will see a rubber gromet on the valve cover with a rubber elbow on top of it. Pull that up and you will see PCV valve

hey Vin
Mine looked the same way when i changed it over up to FFW in NH. I brought it over to show everyone but i guess you weren't there at the time, you would have be prepared for it. Isn't it amazing how much stuff is caked on the back of those butterflies???

Vinnie, The oil is coming up from your passenger side head, through the back of the intake and then towards the front into the intake plenum then to the plastic tube that runs down to the drivers side valve cover. I know this is exactly the opposite of what it looks like but this is true. Check the threads for the fix. The Hausfeld filter really does work, since installing this myslef it have stopped the oil from at least getting to the throttle plate or the plenum itself.

The 7/16" ball bearing effectively plugs the line from the PCV to the intake. It eliminates the PCV from 'working'. Note: Sal said "if you have a breather cap.".
