There is oil in the plenum? What? Reply #16 – March 06, 2010, 06:35:18 PM I tried that, the screw after being screwed into the screen ripped out, twice. I ended up jerry rigging an old coat hanger and a piece of wire to rip it out. It was filthy, obviously never been changed. Seriously, there must have been an inch of crusty oil around it. Thanks for the reply. How does a clogged screen make oil go into the lines though? I would think if it were clogged, nothing could go through? Quote Selected
There is oil in the plenum? What? Reply #17 – March 06, 2010, 06:44:03 PM I'm glad you got it out the screw had worked for me before but whatever worked is good In simple terms... The pcv helps to vent the pressure/vapors from the crankcase (oilpan area) when it is non functional the vapors find their way out however they can and they bring oil with them:D Quote Selected

Thanks for the reply. How does a clogged screen make oil go into the lines though? I would think if it were clogged, nothing could go through?like replied to already,, but mostly due to valve stem seals allowing this to happen as well as the direct path from the heads down to the oil pan via the oil drain holes on each lower right / left side of the heads.

There is oil in the plenum? What? Reply #22 – June 25, 2010, 03:39:12 PM Well, I had to dig up this old thread. I've driven the car about 1000k miles since I replaced the PCV valve, the screen/ retainer, and the oil leak in this area is back.. It seems to be about the same, if not worse. Anyone have any Ideas? I can't seem to figure this one out. Could something else be clogged or defective causing the oil to come up? Quote Selected
There is oil in the plenum? What? Reply #23 – June 25, 2010, 04:08:03 PM Probably the cork end gasket at the rear of the intake is leaking, fairly common problem...It's visible in this pict, likely yours is hanging out... PCV is in lower right...http://members.pen 15s.net/turbocoupe50/5.0vin.jpg Quote Selected
There is oil in the plenum? What? Reply #24 – June 26, 2010, 12:26:18 PM Alright, I took it apart, and so some reason, oil is being sucked up into the PCV valve and coming across the hose which runs into the intake. Now the PCV valve was replaced less than two months ago, along with the screen, and grommet. With a clear screen and the new PCV valve, the problem got worse. Does anyone know why this would happen? Is oil supposed to be in here, and the hose is just worn out leaking, whats the deal? Quote Selected

Or is that a joke, hence the winking face I'm just confused because the only wet area is inside where the PCV valve and screen go. Nothing on the back of the intake anywhere else is wet with oil.

There is oil in the plenum? What? Reply #28 – June 26, 2010, 03:16:13 PM So mine is leaking into the just below the PCV valve, unlike that picture which is leaking away from it? What is a cork end gasket? Quote Selected
There is oil in the plenum? What? Reply #29 – June 26, 2010, 10:35:05 PM If it's sucking oil through the PCV valve, then either the valve is defective or you have one Hell of a lot of blowby, caused by worn piston rings and/or cylinders...ButThe line in the oil filler neck must be able to suck fresh air, do you have it blocked???
