Default oil coming out the intake

I noticed a puddle under the car while changing my tires after an autocross. I found the source to be the intake filter. I removed the valve breather from the intake and blocked it off and the filter still gets soaked. This is a well abused 184k accord. It this definatly an internal engine failure? The pcv valve is new and is still connected to the IM.

Looking at your mileage... your valve seals could be shot... (guessing here)

Valve Stem Seals quite possibly.

I thought that the valve seals were normally a cold start smoke problem. She really does run well and doesnt smoke for a car with so many miles.
Are there any tests that can be done to check the seals?

I would check to see if the oil is overfilled or not. Autocrossing can really slosh the oil around and even send it out the breather tube in hard cornering. I would do a compression and leak-down test to see if the rings are shot or not just to be on the safe side.

If it only happens while autoxing, I would try running with the oil 1/2L down and see if that fixes it.
