misty steam/oil out valve cover
 
supp guys i put my d15b on 8 lbs of boost about 2 weeks ago. just two days ago i noticed like a steamy like mist of air mixed with oil coming out that lil hole on the valve cover. (i have no hose or filter on the valve cover)

it only comes out when idling and goes away when the motor revs. the car drives normal but i was just wondering if i am in any danger or is this normal for boosted cars??

please help, thanks.

what have you been using for fuel management while you 'put your car' on 8psi a few days ago?

i belive that is normal. the hold is for crank case ventalation. Some people run a tube from there to a catch can and then a tube from the catch can to the intake side of a turbo. some skip the can and go right from valve cover to intake.
