can anyone help? is this just a PCV or something worse? also i think i have oil coming out of the Power Brake Check Valve due to oil above it on the hood...should this just be a replace and keep truckin or signs of maybe something else?

 

Is there actually oil pooling up, or is there just a spot on the filter that lines up with the pcv and/or crankcase breather?

Mine has a spot near the crankcase breather that hasn't been a big deal, I just rotate it. If you've got oil pooling up, I'm not sure what would cause that.

 

no not pooling up but a decent amount on an old filter now the oil on the bottom of my hood would be pooling if gravity would allow. thanks for the response

 

Just pull the pcv valve and see if its sucking air. Also shake it and see if it rattles. If it does both of those things it should be fine. If your just not really sure then replace it. There only a couple dollars.

 

will do tomorrow...has anyone ever messed with the power brake check valve...it seems thats where im losing the most

 

I would change it also cause there very cheap to.
