Shit.

My daily drive to the Uni, is less than 10 minutes. My engine from start to finish is only running for 15 minutes from my house to the uni, then I turn it off and go to class and it sits for varying amounts of time, before I start it up again for yet another very short drive.

So what should I do? Should I deliberately take the longest route I can?

Also can anyone tell me how to specifically find and clean this CCV.
I had never even heard of the CCV until this thread.
