No, that doesn't seem right although a little oil isn't out of the norm, only under high vacuum conditions does it suck air via the PCV valve. Is the vent hose fitted between the bottom of the the throttle body going back to the intake manifold?

Pull the PCV valve out and give it a clean with some carb cleaner or similar and pull the little plastic bung out underneath and give that a good clean too.
The vent hose your talking about goes into a black box next to the fuel regulator from underneath the throttle body

Yes. That black box is the purge solenoid, there should be 2 or 3 lines connected to it IIRC.

Sometimes the plastic hoses come loose from the rubber boots on the end.

Is it possible to run around with the fuel hoses the wrong way around for months ?

I've only owned red motors all my life never mucked with fuel injection

Would the ECT sensor below the thermostat housing do this ?
