oil in the air intake?

[bhunt41]

i have oil in my air intake and my hoses running from the cylinder head to the intake manifold. why? mainly im thinking its coming from the intake breather hose because i see oil in my intake tube by that whole. any one have this problem or could help me out?

[bhunt41]

ive been trying to look around and i came across this. does anyone know if this is legit or what to do next on my car?

PT Cruiser excessive oil consumption problems. Does your PT Cruiser burn oil?

now ive seen people talk and saw pics about a oil catch can? now how does that work? and how do i know if i should do it?

You didn't say if yours is a turbo or not but if it is a turbo a catch can collects the oil vapors that come from the PCV valve.

base model. thats why im confused on why i have a lot of oil in the intake.

How is your PCV valve?

[bhunt41]

which one is that? the tube that goes to the intake or the one in the intake manifold. both have oil in them. both my intake pipe, throttle body, and upper and lower manifold show a sign of oil. i took off the valve that screws into the valve cover and checked it the old way, blow on both ends, one way blows the other wont let you blow air through. but i have not checked the other valve. but yes both have oil in tube and on the nipple

If the pcv valve is new, I guess some oil is normal.

nope that one is original. and theres oil in and on the tube. but the other breather tube had oil in it and around the inlet pipe on the intake, thats why im confused
