PCV = Positive Crankcase Ventilation
It helps remove any excess crankcase vapors (which just happen to have
oil in them) and reintroduces them into the intake for a "re-burn".
Keeps things cleaner in the block and doesn't hurt performance one bit.
A very thin layer is normal.

I don't think the 4.7 has one. if you have oil in your manifold on a
4.7 it must be a malfunction of the pvc system.
