There's a hole on the valve cover that I think connected to the stock air filter housing. Not the pcv but the other one. I had a small filter on this on my other truck but on this one it's blowing oil out of it. What would cause this? It seems to be getting worse too. Any ideas?

Yea, check the PCV. Should rattle when you shake it. If not try and see if carb cleaner will fix it.

I'm curious why it would though. Should'nt develop that much oil pressure, you know. I can only think of the PCV though.

I put a new pcv valve and hose on it a while back. It's coming out of the other hole.

You could have blown a compression ring how does the truck run

Well if that is so, then should'nt he be able to check the spark plugs for oil?
