Welcome to the world of renix/blowby. Clean out all hoses/pcv, change the air filter - and learn to live with it. They all have it. Period. Minimizing it is key, and yes, the main thing you can do is replace the hoses/grommets from the VC and check all other hoses connected to the airbox.

Also, as per cruiser's tip(s) - you'll probably want to do the valve cover gasket, and while you have the cover off you should give it a good cleaning (air compressor helps), and also trim down the 2 metal drain tubes that are connected to the top of the inside of the cover. These tubes go down too far and suck up oil a bit too greedily. However, in his tip he suggested cutting the lines down as well as drilling holes at the top of them - mine actually already had holes (and they looked stock) but trimming them down by about 1/2 with an angle grinder and doing the gasket (felpro) seemed to help quite a bit. I still get oil in the airbox, but owell - it ain't gonna hurt anything, and it's minimized quite a bit.



I'm 99% sure the hose COMES with the grommet, but you can order a grommet to make sure - I now just have an extra grommet.

Rockauto:

1989 JEEP CHEROKEE 4.0L 242cid L6 :
Emission : PCV Valve / Crankcase Ventilation Grommet
Price: $2.23
DORMAN Part # 42088 {#53004722} ID: 0.229"; O.D.: 1.314"; Thickness: 0.823"
PCV to Valve Cover

PCV Valve / Crankcase Ventilation Hose
Emission : PCV Valve / Crankcase Ventilation Hose
Price: $7.41
DORMAN Part # 46005 {#4762592} Crankcase Vent Tube

IF YOU HAVEN'T READ CRUISER'S TIPS YET - DO IT. It should be required reading at the dmv when you register a Renix era Jeep.
