I had someone bring me the vehicle in the subject because they found dark liquid on top of the air filter when they took the case/cover off. From a quick inspection is was blackish and seemed oily. I noticed a tube that connects directly into the filter housing (not the intake piping, weird) and it appears the oil substance is coming from this tube. Following the tube, it goes around to the back of the engine. I think this is the ventilation tube that connects to the PCV.
If the PCV valve fails, would it allow blowby to go up this tube and into the air box? Is it possible to clean a PCV valve? Anyone know how hard it is to get this PCV valve out and back in?
Thanks for any help you all can provide.
