Default Burning oil, oil in my plenum

Hi guys,

So I was working on my procharger on my Z. Took off my Kinetex plenum (which I don't recommend getting, mine was warped and has a huge air leak causing a bad idle). I was putting the stock one back on when I notice oil in the plenum. Plus in the past it seemed like I was burning oil cause I had to put oil in every 2 months.

Will a catch can resolve the problem? Which one could I use with the supercharger cause I can't mount it in the front of the car

It's normal for oil to be there, just get any catch can, maybe one with a baffle.

Recommendations?

I can't install it on the front due to the supercharger
