Default valve cover vent spitting oil?

noticed it today, been boosting for about 2months now..... i have a catchcan hooked up to my PCV and the other side is just open to release the fumes and catch the oil.... not sure how good that works, but i heard it was good for a turbo car. anywho.... i havent put a breather filter, a vac line or anything to the valve cover vent, and today i noticed there was some oil on the throttle body and some that dripped off and is the back of the valve cover..... what do you guys do with that vent? and is this normal????? i was a lil worried something might be wrong....... im thinking about putting a lil catchcan there as well..... good idea? bad? i need some feedback.

i woulda searched but i dunno what to search for....
