Title: What is to box that the PCV valve plugs into?
Post by: SHOme on January 07, 2019, 10:14:07 PM
I changed my PCV at 112k and noticed  it has the white water oil gunk in it.  My car is dripping the same looking stuff from the right front when parked.  My catch can isn't catching anything.  I have not put it on the lift to determine where the slime is coming from.  I'll post when I do.

That's your Oil Separator which acts as a catch can and has a built in internal relief valve which plays an important role and needs to be changed Pronto!
I would also check around the rear valve cover for leaks. .

Need to check your OCC check valve and could be plugged.
Check your oil level ASAP!
Check CAC (Intercooler) with a oil dipstick for oil pooling.  Z

Crisis averted.  I changed the oil separator.  It wasn't to bad but the check valve inside was sticky.  The leak was coming from my catch can.  I must have left the drain valve cracked open.  This would explain it being empty.  It didn't noticably effect the performance.  I have some piece of mind knowing everything is new.  Thanks for the info.  Now I need to figure out how to drain the swamp CC easier.  It's a PITA to get to the bottom of the can to drain it.

Was that the correct part number on your old piece you replaced?

That is what I gave the guy at the parts counter.  Wether he cross referenced it I don't know.  The box is in my shop. I will check it when I get out there.
