Ok yeah that is a steam vent, and it does need to go somewhere.

That does need to be fixed, but that isn't what's causing the extra oil in behind the throttle body. Like you said before, the moisture in there causing the oil to turn milky is just moisture being pulled in through the intake. The extra oil is from one of two things: simply just a bad PCV valve, or over-pressurization of the crankcase. The latter you could check to find the cause of by doing a leak down test, to make sure that the pressure isn't leaking past your rings, a blown head gasket, or a cracked head.
