I removed the plate on the Edelbrock to make sure the center bolt was nice and tight and noticed a little oil puddling in it. I knew my car was sucking oil through the PCV, just wondering if it got worse since the intake.

I know someone else had this problem.. but I never heard the fix if any. Any help will be appriciated. THANKS.

the rubber grommet that holds the pvc valve in may just be worn.

Do it yourself. Check out the tech file on PCV Bypass and save $30

That's the article I've been looking for. THANKS.

Should I be worried about the oil that's getting sucked in? It hasn't seemed to cause any running problems but does it mean my engine is on it's last leg? Doesn't feel like it.

Alot of people running aftermarket intakes have reported the problem. Seems to be quite common.
