took out my intake manifold to have more of a view of a leak and found nothing leaking, soo i put it back together took it for a drive and started blowing oil out of what looks to be my pcv valve, the tube comiing off my valve cover.. also i have tons of oil under my intake manifold (which explains the middle of my block being wet.) could i have something major wrong i am clueless as to what it could be...Comment

Sounds like the same issue I had about 8 years ago when I did my swap. Check to see if the o-ring is there. Mine was missing and leaked like a sieve.

its there thats why im so confused. i pulled one out of a junkyard today that was dry to see if that would work but after looking at it it looks exactly the same as my leaking one. also confused about how oil is getting into my intakeComment

the oil is leaking out of the back of my intake manifold, on the tube that connects to the back. there is a lot and i dont think oil should be getting into my intake.Comment

i applied compressed air into my pcv, and noticed air coming out of valve cover. so i took it off and noticed that the stud bolts that hold on the valve cover were bolted to it, and not under it. so i took it off cleaned my oil seperation system put back together and now i have no more air leak. i think i possibly could of fixed my problem, because before i pulled the cover off and re sealed i had suction in my fill cap while running and now i do not. i will be driving it today to see if it fixes it.Comment
