Oil in n55 inlet pipe
On my way home today I started smelling burning oil. When I got home and looked over the car, I noticed oil in the inlet pipe.
https://i.lensdump.com/i/AqQlCx.jpg Any of you guys know whats wrong? Oil blow by or failed PCV valve? Car has 65k miles on it and I change the oil every 5-6k miles. Never had this happen before, so I'm inclined to believe that something failed. Thanks |

Those 4 black plastic tabs are part of the design. I suspect failure of 1 the O rings causing it to not to seal. I'm hoping the loss of vacuum from the break is causing the oil to leak out, and not the whole PCV system/valve cover failing.
