Then the outlet ( to the intake manifold ) is at the top. No way Oil will be sucked up 8 > 10 inches.
Interesting, got any pics of your setup?

Oil in the intake can def be caused by the Pcv valve and the whole crankcase vent system. One of two ways I've been told to fix it is a good catch can or the LS6 valley pan. The burning of oil could be cause by to much crankcase pressure but it could also be caused by worn piston rings or more likely leaking valve stems. So the oil burning can be a lot of things. Either way this site is def the right place to be to find that info
