Accompanied by frequent oil drops near center area under car when sitting. Also, notice splatter above engine compartment on ledge of cabin air filter.

Where exactly is the CCV? Maybe its the CCV hose? I did have to change that cause it broke, and it is a PITA to attach at the bottom.. maybe its loose...?

crankcase (oil pan) vents to an oil seperator near intake where air goes in and oil drains back down.

if not connected/or leaking it'll blow oil mist

I'm not familiar with the exact location on the I6 engine.

look at the oil separator threads.
