I think its coming from the hose coming form the valve cover to the reservoir. What should i do to stop this?

Thanks Ed,

Its normal to have some oil wetness. U can put in a catch can, or leave it as is. That resivor in ur intake acts like a catch can.

It's called a breather, I believe when the oil expands, it pushed out the excess air from the engine and sometimes oil comes out with it. It's perfectly normal although when i put my cold air intake, I went to pepboys/advance auto/autozone and they have like a 8 dollar breather filter. Basically it's a tiny cone filter, kinda cute haha but the little bit of oil that comes out into the filter will go right back in as it drips down and whatever air goes in will be filtered by the baby filter. Or you can do whatLetxen3 said, put an aftermarket catch can, but it's perfectly normal what is happening.
