Default Delete Plates installed but lots of oil normal?

Hey I just got done installing the Steeda Delete Plates. The butterflys were covered in Oil. I assume that part is normal. But, when i went on to put the Intake Manifold back there was a trail of oil left pouring out. It wasnt a lot but from the floor to part of the bumper and radiator cover. Is that normal? I know that our engines consume a lot of oil. I checked the PCV hose and Theres a Crap ton of oil on there. I'm gonna go out now and make my own Oil Seperator kit. Hopefully this will minimize the issue.
Also Once the oil is captured, do you recycle the oil into the engine or just toss it? Thanks.

Stefs 5122 = no more oil in the intake

Toss the oil - it is full of contaminates
