Ok guys the other day I noticed a bit of oil sitting around my pcv valve and in the 3 of the 4 top bolt indents on the valve cover. I replaced the pcv and for like 3 days it was fine no leaks nothing then today I was doing the normal fluid checks for the week and noticed it was leaking again nothing bad not pouring out nothing like that just little annoying me. Also I'm going on 4 mpnths with out and oil change but I have only put on 1200 miles since the last change. I noticed also today that my oil was a hair low so I may get and oil change this week or just add some till next payday.

Any ideas or thoughts would be great.

u don't have the breathers directly connected to the heads do you?

Breathers? What do you mean by Breathers?

Could the hoses connecting the plastic tubes be bad? streched out or just gotten larger over time? letting oil leak out when pressure gets high?

lexy

nevermind about the breathers. don't know what your prob is. Both sides do it? Maybe its the place where you connect your pcv valve to. the rubber mount. When you crank it up look around and pinpoint where its leaking from you should also see smoke coming out of there. Maybe its the hose. take it off and look at it. Its a simple fix man

it doesnt do anything when just sitting at an idle and I never smell anything and no smoke ever. only the side with the PCV does it (pass.) The hose seems to pop on and off pretty easy I did that the yesterday it is in good shape no dry rot or anything else just really loose fitting I'll check that out this week. It's just irritating thats all and I want to make sure nothing horrible is going to happen.

u can drive around and not worry about it. nothing is gonna happend. just watch that oil level and i cant imagine that much oil with leak out of there. Try to rev your motor from the throttle body and see what happens.

Thanx for all the help one last question I noticed the rubber hose is bend does a slight s shape Does it have to that shape or can I just run to autozone and get a piece the same length?

That is factory bent, you'll be fine with some 1/2" from Autozone
