a lot of oil. now i've replaced multiple bpv's on my car, along w/ other people's cars, and have never had any oil in there. i've heard people saying that a little oil can be normal, but this looks like an awful lot to me. any suggestions on what might have caused it, or what i should do?
i replaced it with a GFB BPV

Default check the PCV limiting valve to see if its still working/closing

if its staying 100% open it will put a bit of VAC on the PCV system &amp; possibly pull some oil through

only prob is i have no idea how to check the valve ;p
