Unhappy high crankcase pressure

I recently replaced my oil pump and cleaned the oil pick-up tube in my '95 windstar 3.8l. I resolved the low oil pressure prob but have too much crankcase pressure now. I had oil on the engine after driving approx 10 miles. Replaced the front seal thinking that was the prob due to area oil was on engine. After running awhile, found oil blowing out vent holes on the dipstick tube. Installed new PCV and am stuck at this point.

Re: high crankcase pressure

Are you getting vacuum through the PVC hose?If not,follow the hose look for collapsed area.

Re: high crankcase pressure

Also,it's important to use FMC[Motorcraft]PCV valve.Some after market valves allow more volume.Just a thought.
Please report back.

Re: Re: high crankcase pressure

Some engines have an external breathing passage (approx 1" dia hose) that connects the lower crankcase area to the upper block region. I don't know if the Winnie V6 has such an item or not (too cold right now to go look)... but it would be worth the time to look for... and making sure its not plugged with sludge, as they often are.
