GMJ91 said:Can the PCV vavle be capped off or deleted or can it be vented into the air instead on the intake ? I ask because I'm 99% sure the PCV valve is my vacuum leak. I do have the valve cover breathers is that hurting or helping me. Will it hurt the motor if I cap both the valve and the intake. Any comment would help alot. THANK YOU.

The simple fact is that the crankcase vapors have to go somewhere and they are messy. PCV vapor is no different, except the mess is distributed back into the intake.mustangman33 said:Thanks for the reply Hissin, but if I went with closed breathers and no PCV system, will the oil possibly leak in other places, or will this stop the oil leak all together?
The guys that have more blowby like this can help (like Jason - no offense bud!). Perhaps running a vent line from the breathers to a large catch can would work. Or run something like a Jaz can.mustangman33 said:My problem is if I let my car sit idle for awhile, theres a big oil spot left behind and I can literaly see the oil dripping out of the breathers. And last year I went to the track they wouldn't let me run because of the leak. Im heading back in a few weeks and I need this fixed before I waste another trip.
