Blowing oil around VCT solenoid.

[blueone]

I just ran my car pretty hard and when I got back home I popped the hood and noticed that a good bit of oil had blown out around the VCT solenoid on the left side cam cover with some decent pressure behind it since some of the oil made it to the strut tower. Starting to think maybe the bottom end is not venting right. Any suggestions would be apprciated.

Are you running breathers or still closed PCV system? I would suggest breathers at the least.

Run breathers from the oil fill cap, and each valve cover. I was also leaking oil from around the vct solenoid connection and ziptied a black sock around it to catch the oil and it also stopped the leak.
