I see, thanks. You can see all dirty in there. Mines don't leak there as I cant see oil anywhere, but I am suspecting Oil separator/PCV going bad as well. need to replace it soon. Good feeling when you know it's all fresh in there.

yeah much better feeling...i had no idea, a few months back i had all smoke for like 1 minute...but then never again...drove fine, seemed fine. scanned it , nothing....but then oil smell every now and then, a few drops of oil on my driveway....only until my shop took off engine cover to notice the hoses were really bad......had to be changed...no doubt.

I realy want to change my PCV just for the hack of it. My mechanic told me that it sounded bad too. plus I would change oil separator. and clean intake manifold and istall new front side gasket on manifold while at it. But before then I have to change Diff chain and all bushings so... bill is going up
