Default Oil in intake/air box

So im getting oil in my air box and i have talked to my automitve teacher from school explaining the situation he believes it to be because the hose connecting to the valve cover to the intake is leaking oil to the air box he told me to replace the PVC valve believing it was located at the end of the hose connecting to the intake(metal piece) but as it turns out(research) the PVC valve is located on the intake manifold and a hose is leading from the PCV valve to the intake mainfold so that wouldnt explain the oil in the intake or I believe so?.... So I took the hose connecting to intake/airbox off and it seems there is a metal piece that helps connect the hose to the intake and it was greased in oil?... so now im completely lost as to how to stop the oil from leaking in my intake because I dont know what that piece is called if it needs replacing?...
any help

that's the way it's supposed to work...intake creates positive pressure for the gases in the head to be ventilated...byproduct is oil getting in your intake

I wouldn't do that, at the very least just go to Kragen/Vatozone and get a cheap mini filter to stick it on the hole. The hole is there for a reason.

And Big Chorizo is right,
