liquid in air filter housing i believe i have a small amount of oil laying around my air filter. inside the housing theres a small puddle around the edges of what i think is oil. why is this happening, is it going to cause damage, and how can i fix it? i will post a picture shortly |
Re: liquid in air filter housing engine blowby |
Re: liquid in air filter housing it's the breather, i think it's just splashing oil up in there |
Re: liquid in air filter housing well. my air cleaner is still getting oil in there somehow. i dont know why it would be coming up the oil breather like that. im also not sure if it has somthing to do with my car smoking every time i start it up. |
Re: liquid in air filter housing The minimum sounds like you need to do valve guide seals and a pcv valve. |
Re: liquid in air filter housing Does the car have a lot of miles on it? Most likely has a bad ring seal. |

Re: liquid in air filter housing Well first check the pcv hose, those tbi are known for carbon plugging the pcv & vacuum ports, if clogged, remove the whole tbi unit & use a drill to clean them out. Get a new base gasket. Make sure the pcv valve rattles. Have a leak down test done on the engine. Really, if the vacuum hoses & pcv check out ok, driving the car around won't be too much of a problem. Just check you oil level every other fill up. Its probably down on power & might fail emissions test though. |
