Ok engine as been pushing oil out of the top of the valve cover the little pipe on front of motor that goes to breather for a few weeks and got bad today. I have a small intake pipe on my turbo and thought it might be sucking it out of the valve cover of I put a little filter on it and tonight oil was everywhere. So I pulled my #1 sparkplug out and it was black and the others looked good….. Bad valves?? I’m running 7-10 psi on a 45k motor stock everything(injectors, maf….) motor is still very strong any help would be great. thanks

Im not an expert but pushing 7-10 psi on stock injectors most likely caused your motor to blow its gasket or ringlands or something in the engine. I would have the car taken to a shop check the compression or just check the motor because you might have blown something on it. Also since only your first plug seems bad then you probably screwed up the first cylinder.

if your pcv valve is hooked up normally you could be pressurizing the crank case, so either you pcv valve is seized open or you need to put in a proper check valve inline to the pvc from the intake.

also check compression, if compression is fine and you got no smoke out the of tail pipe then it should be what i mentioned.

^^ Yup. Compression test time. The PCV will usually have a little bit of air blowing out and maybe a very fine mist of oil, but lots of oil is usually a sign of worn rings and a resulting pressurised crankcase.

On a side note, please dont make thread titles in all caps... No need to yell, we're here for ya man
