A Plastic Hose leaking oil on the Intake

I have a problem, I just bought a pre owned 2004 Lincoln Ls V6, and when I got it there was nothing wrong with it. Unfortunatly about three months after I bought the car I was driving it, and i began to smell burnt oil. I pulled the car over and I could see a little bit of smoke coming off my exhaust manifold. As I looked around a bit more i noticed the oil coming from a plastic tube that runs along the intake. It doesnt leak much, I would say it may drip once every 3 to 4 hours or so, just enough to smell smoke when I first turn the car on. I was told my pvc my be stopped up, so I replaced it and it still leaks. It would be nice if I could have some idea of what my next move should be.:confused:

The tube should be attached to the intake boot...maybe on the bottom where you can't see it. It should NOT be open to the air and its not uncommon for a tiny bit of oil to go through that tube.

It should be attached to something though....got a picture?

This is a part explosion of what should attach where.
