455 Oil on intake

I have a 1970 442 with a 455 and stock aluminum manifold. Since I owned this car there has been oil seepage out of the PCV valve to manifold connection. I had the manifold off and saw there was no baffle under the port so I added one. Still leaks. I have the dual breather and changed to different rate PCV's. Any ideas how to stop this?
Thanks and Happy Holidays.
Joe

Are you certain it is oil ? I dont see any by the fitting or the pcv valve itself unless you cleaned it up. If you pull the hose off the PCV valve is there oil in it ? There really should not be.

Yes, it is definitely coming from there. I just took this photo yesterday, car has been sitting for over three months. It was worse before I put the clamps on it.

So you added the factory style turkey tray intake gasket, or something else? If you are not using the factory style turkey tray it will suck oil into the PCV valve.
