Oil Consumption
I have an A&A car that seems to be using some oil. I am thinking that its in the way I have the PCV setup done. I have a little vacuum going from the intake to the valve cover with a check valve in it to keep from pressurizing the crankcase. Is it possible the vacuum is sucking some of the oil from the valve cover into the intake? Do I need a seperator of some sort in there?

Yes, that a VERY common problem.
But depending on "How Much" oil is being consumed, it could just be the charicteristics of the motor.
How much oil are you burning?
