WTF Is this normal ?
ok so i have a PCV oil catch can and it works great. collects oil all day long. on the passenger side i put another one in line from the valve cover vent to the TB thinking it would collect oil. but for the past few times i went to clean it out i wound out with this
its a real bad oil water mix and water drips out of the TB when i take the hose off. is that normal ? should i just get rid of it and put a breather in place ? any info would be greatly appreciated. i really dont want my intake having any water going in it

i really hope not. i have plans of doing head gaskets and maybe get the heads cleaned up at the same time. but i really dont want that until the spring. i cant afford to have the car down for the winter

take your oil cap off and see if there is some of that stuff on the cap. mine does it also in winter. the oil just doesnt get hot enough and cant burn that stuff off. if your oil looks fine on the dipstick then i wouldnt worry about it.
mine does it every winter. i bet if you pulled the valve covers off there would be that milky stuff on the top also.

If you put a breather in the oil cap/fill tube it will basicly be a vacuum leak,if thats what you were talking about.

thanks for the replys. i want to try something other then have that crap go into my intake and dirty up the internals. maybe ill just unplug it from the intake and put a small filter on the hose just to see what happens.
speed demon, was there any of that stuff on your dipstick or in the oil when you changed it ?
