All advice is appreciated.

My 89 245 is leaking oil. Based on my reading here, I think it is caused by excess crankcase pressure. Apparently the flame trap can become clogged or the positive crankcase ventalation valve has failed.

Problem is, I haven't been able to figure out exactly where these things are in the various hoses etc. surrounding and connecting to the fuel injection. I looked for anything that connected to the crankcase but came up empty. My manual (Haynes) is of almost no use as it only supplies a general drawing of how a pcv system works as opposed to guidance as to component location.

Can anyone provide guidance?

Thanks

Joe Zimmerman
