Did my own version of a fix for keeping the oil completely out of the intercooler and intake plenum. Thanks for those with ideas on using breathers.

I went to Advance Auto and picked up a couple of breathers, some length of 3/4" heater hose, rubber heater caps, and some clamps.

I removed the hose on the drivers side going from the driver side cam cover to the intake elbow. I capped the hole in the intake elbow, and clamped a length of the 3/4" hose onto the PCV valve on the cam cover.

Next I removed the hose that connected to the passenger rear of the intake plenum. I only removed the part that went from the "T" in the hose to the plenum. I capped the plenum port with another rubber cap. I cut a very short length of the 3/4" hose and installed the breather where the hose came off of the plastic "T".

I plan on getting a breather cap for the oil filler, but the ones I bought didn't fit the hole when I took the cap off.

Here's a pic of both breathers:
