6th Gen ('00-'05): Oil where it doesnt belong

Oil where it doesnt belong
I had to take my upper intake of again today and again I found pools of oil. I thought I had taken care of this problem but I guess not. The oil pools collect in the lower intake manifold in the wells above cylinders 1 and 6 ( where the bolts are).
Does anybody know where the oil is coming from and how I can stop it? The only possibility I can see is through the PCV valve but I can't find any evidence.
My upper intake manifold and intake runners have a coating of vaporized oil that i'm sure is not good for the downstream parts. I'm talking about things like the catalytic converter which I am now getting a 420 code for. I may need to replace the cat but not before fixing the oil problem.

block off the pcv valve (i jb welded mine) then run a hose from front valve cover to a catch can and let the air vent through a breather filter. drain catch can every oil change at very least
