PCV grommet

[buck91]

has anybody seen a replacement grommet for the positive crankcase vent Val e? everytime i pull my engine cover it looks like there is oil weeping from around the valve. I don't see any thing listed on rock auto or various auto parts stores maybe dealer only?

Make model engine?

It's an o-ring with a groove to locate it.. Get one from ford they only cost pennies.

Most of them will ooze a bit, there's a lot of pressure in there and the seal is never perfect.

It's better to leave this alone than to rube goldberg one, it wont fit properly and you can then start losing uber amounts of oil. The dealer will be able to get you one of you need it

They can be hard to locate, check the "help" sections at the parts store. I've been known to put a wrap of tape around the pcv and shove it back in till I can find a replacement...and then forget about it forever.

Its for a 2001 Olds 3.5L V6. Looks like "Spectre" and Edelbrock both have drop in options for 1-1/4" OD x 3/4" ID. Should be a good start.
