This has been hapening for a couple of weeks now and i dont no why!

Keep getting oil in my induction kit, its quite a bit! Had a search and fort it would be a blow by but did a compresson test and everything was fine, anyone had this problem or got any ideas what it mite be?

Thanks scott

That pipe that goes from the rocker cover to your induction kit is a breather valve. When you drive hard oil evaporates and get recirculated AFAIK.
EDIT: It's normal don't worry about it :)

Ok thank, dont no what to do then, because i mean the foam gets drenched after a couple of hundred miles, its like u put a sponge in oil then pull it out, if i take my induction kit off and put it upside down it runs out, it cant be beathing well!!!!

Can't really help you as to why it's happening. Get yourself an oil catch tank as all that oil going back through the inlet can't be good.

Get a breather filter instead? Can i ask what your car performed like when you needed new injectors?

Check you breather pipe isn`t split/blocked or not done up tight enough.

check its not blocked etc, and do all the normall checks, maybe give the car a good service, and possibly run a oil catch tank if you still wanted to run your induction kit.

What were your compression readings? How many miles has the motor done. Still sound like excessive blow by past the rings mate. Do you top up the oil often? Do you see blue smoke when driving the car?

Either sort the bottom end out or a catch tank as mentioned above. BTW the advise about checking the breather that comes from the bottom end at the back of the engine bay for blockages is good advise as well mate.

Good luck
