Need PCV Layout for Smoking 00-S70 S70 2000

Does anyone have, or know where I can get, the layout for the crankcase ventilation system for a 2000 S70 Turbo. It is quite a bit different than the 850 Turbo. I am having periods of heavy white smoke (I mean real smoke screen) occurnig with my wife's S70 which is not driven very hard typically. She probably never exercises the turbo. After I put it through a few 0-80 full throttle starts it clears up for a few months. I'm thinking oil may be building up in the oil separator or intercooler or ????. The cloud gets thicker at idle when the manfold vacuum is higgest which is when the PCV system is active. I was thinking bad turbo oil seal but I wouldn't think that would clear up.
Anybody have any clues? The car has 75K miles on it and CEL is off.
Thanks for any thoughts or replies.

    Get the pcv hoses serviced... Actually suppose to be done at 60K miles and then 90K miles (then every 30K miles after this), but probably wasn't done. At your miles, it's probably not clogged up completely yet. There is a small nipple at the bottom of the intake air hose to tubo (from air filter box) that gets clogged. From that nipple runs a small hose to the oil trap that is under your intake manifold...the main component of your pcv system. You can do it or you can instruct a indy to do it- The small hose needs to come off and a small drill inserted into the nipple and the hardened gunk drilled out. Other hoses may need to be cleaned or replaced as well. You are doing a good thing for this car to get it hot and drive it hard occassionally. If you're concerned about the white smoke and dirty engine, you might want to try a cleaning with AutoRx. It's great stuff that will do a good job without hurting things.

    You originally asked about the hose lay-out. Actually, if you lift your hood of your car, you'll see a sticker of the hose diagram stuck to the under side of it, up near the passenger's side. It is very small on mine, so I took a digital picture of it, blew it up on my computer and then finally I could make it out. All vacuum hoses are listed, not just the pcv ones, so you'll have to decipher things.
