Yes there is, the draft tube from the lifter cover.
It looks like a metal pipe sticking out of the exhaust side of the 
engine. And without proper PCV, it will spit oil out.
Now the Bugeye only had a hose from the valve cover to the air filter, 
not the best PCV in the world. But if that was not hooked up, oil will 
come out of the metal pipe on the exhaust side of the block.
