Even with the stock setup your PCV system is going to pull some oil into the intake track its normal and it happens. I just clean it up with some TB/manifold cleaner which you spray in and around the TB and plenum while you hold the TB open. I do this around every 2-3 oil changes or once a year roughly.

You could buy one of my oil air separator kits. It's not cheap but it's a forever fix.

They are quite nice. It's amazing how much oil it catches. I highly recommend it.
