Since the plug is missing on bank 2, the AOS "sees" this as positive pressure in the crankcase and opens in an attempt to draw it down. Since it can't with the hole open then AOS is fully open and ingesting massive quantities of oil to the intake tract. Might be worth getting all plugs back in place and test run.
EDIT: The correct term for the AOS is a diaphragm operated back-pressure regulator.

Okay, I like this working theory (thanks, by the way). The only question it leaves unanswered for me immediately, is probably born from not having a full-scope view of the AOS system in it's entirety: if it's wide-open, as you've postulated, why is it ingesting oil and not air? Do I have a drain-back that's blocked somewhere, keeping the "intake" of the AOS fed with oil?
