This is what is called 'blow by.' Changing out the PCV will help this out. Change the filter as well. I assume this is a higher mileage vehicle. You might want to pull the intake and clean all of the carbon out of the valley. Better gas/performance will be a result.

Like this one depend upon the year.

The PCV valve connects the crankcase to the intake manifold. Ask your mechanic he know's exactly where it is.

PCV means positive crankcase ventilation.
It depressurizes the crankcase from normal and abnormal blowby.
Without this, pressure will build up and will find an outlet to release and the weakest exit is the front and main oil seal.
