Sometimes it still makes its way in there through the valve, and that is why some people install filters or "oil catchers" between the PCV valve and the intake. You could look into doing that. Also, have you modified the baffle on the oil filler neck on the valve cover? It can get into the intake through there too, if the baffle is modified or removed.

Yea, I would look into an oil separator. Check out the tech sticky, there are 3 good threads in there about the PCV system.
