See here p147 for a diagram
http://www.turboninjas.com/camry/eg1.pdf The PCV valve and hose are on the suction (vacuum) side of the throttle, and this is meant to **** oily crankcase vapours into the inlet manifold for burning.
This should be replaced by fresh air from the upstream or atmosphere side of the throttle, the top hose in the diagram.
When the PCV valve and its hose gets blocked, and the engine is a bit worn, Combustion blow by pressure and oil vapour in the crankcase builds up and is not sucked through the PCV valve. Instead it is forced into the intake tract.
So check the PCV valve, hose, and bleed return hose to make sure they are clear OK. If the problem persists, your engine has probably developed worn piston rings, and blow by is now too high to control properly.
