    Oil leak before check valve

    I've got a fair amount of oil present at the hose joint to the check valve before entering the air intake. The valve itself is only a year or so old, is this likely to be a fault with the other valve that locates in the valve cover (m70)?
    If I had a penny for everytime someone commented on my poor fuel economy, I'd have enough to get it to the petrol station.
