The oil  is getting drawn into the intake through the PCV system and it's
getting  burned as part of the intake mixture. The only times when you might
notice  this is if you're idling and the wind is from behind you. On an F4B
intake,  you'd notice that the #4 plug is more prone to fouling because the 
PCV
is  plumbed into that intake runner.

On the subject of baffles and PVC's.  I have my  PVC connected, but on the 
oil filler cap I am using just a screened cap.  I  haven't noticed any 
misting because of this being an open system, but maybe over  time it will show 
up.  
 
My questions is:  is it possible to be getting an  exhaust smell because of 
one side being open? 
Oh, and no oil consumption with the baffles  removed.
