66 dart L6 225 ci.
engine was rebuilt last year. all new hoses etc..
Anyhow I just started to notice there is oil residue on the hose end that connects to the PCV on the valve cover? The PCV is new, the hose is new. It is tight, how is oil getting onto it? The rubber gasket that hold the pcv inplace is also new. I removed the valve and there is some oil inside , enough to cause a drop of oil to fall out. How is there that much oil in there? Isn't this just a vaccum system? The other end of the hose goes to the carb and there is no oil residue over there.
Like a mist of oil is on the hose at the pcv connection? Ideas?
I have removed the pcv and reinstalled my original metal one, and see if the oil returns/. But I am still concerned as to why so much oil is getting past the valve?
