Oil in the PCV hose...is this bad? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Ontheball! on  Sat Feb 21 09:05 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hi

I took out my 'flame-trap' today and found a lot of engine oil in the housing for the flame'trap.

Does this mean oil is getting sucked up from the oil seperater and burnt as part of the combustion?

What can I do to stop oil in this area, I thought it was only vapour here.

That is where the crank case fumes are vented, so there is going to be some oil build up, thats why you are suppose to clean/change it now and then. It's normal.
