Default Affect of engine on on engine performance??

Ok I have a question,
what affect, if any, would engine oil have on how your engine performs
if added to the combustion mixture??

Basically the story goes as follows
I have a JRSC d15bvtec engine(6psi) and I am eating some oil,
not a huge ammount, but it looks like maybe close to a quart every 1000miles.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the problem is my pcv valve,
it doesn't seal completly in either direction(if you blow thru it both ways,
one way is harder than the other, but you can still get air through etiher way).
I've had a leakdown and compression test done and results were more than good(3-4% leak, and around 200comp across).

So brings me back to my original question,
basically when i'm under boost, I think engine is being pushed past the PCV valve and into the intake manifold.. what's this doing for my engine?

Is it bad for anything?
read somewhere that extra oil in the comp chambers can affect compression readings?

thanks!

oil in the cobustion chambers will make of a more detonate prone motor.
it will also be detrimental to performance, how much? prolly not much, but..

why dont you just make or buy a catch can?
