This is the hose that comes form the valve cover and branches to two hoses going into the intake manifold. Also make sure the screen in the valve cover is not gunked up. Test by blowing back through the hose outlet. Any restriction can cause the crankcase pressure to push oil out past the seals. Good luck Ken Hunter 82 Westy 1.9D 84 Jetta 1.5D |
