PCV Valve leaking oil..

[FTheMan]

..into my throttle body. I own a 94 3.4L Camaro and as of right now, the only possible way that the oil is getting into my throttle body is through the PCV valve going into the ar intake. There is a K&N air intake on it as of now, but it has been doing this even before I installed that part. I've tried replacing the valve, didn't work. Has anyone else had this problem, if so..what worked for you? If something indeed worked.

Over time, oil will slowly find its way through that hose, try taking it off and cleaning out the inside of it...pull a strip of cloth through it with a coat hanger or something to get the existing oil out of that hose, and just do that every so often.

[FTheMan]

Alright. I'll do that when I replace the valve again. Thank you.

Sure you're not overfilling the crankcase?

[FTheMan]

Positive. I bring out the measuring cup to make sure I have the right amount in it.

Yep, sounds werid but this engine is old and has alot of miles on it. So it helps to make sure everything is right.

Well, in that case, try adding some Lucas oil stuff to your oil...dont add as much as the bottle says(you dont need that much)
Next time you change the oil, try adding a little more than 1/2 of the bottle to your oil...it will make it a little thicker and a little more sticky(so to speak) and may help keep the oil away from that hose(among other things)
Just a thought...

Well, I'm just saying, for that much oil to be there you either have in order of probablility
:

1-too much oil (even tho you're using a measuring cup, how much are you using)

2-plugged oil gallies and the oil can't get out of the heads back to to the crank case.

3-weak pintson rings. any signs of gas in the crankcase?

The lucus will help with one of those three...
If you checked the dip stick and you know that there isnt too much oil in there, then check the first item off of the list.
Next, if you want to be shure that there arent any obstructions in the oil system, you can pick up some GUNK oil system cleaner at Pep Boys...that stuff will eat through any crap in the system...also be shure you pick up some replacement oil, a filter, and some Lucus to add to the new oil after you clean out the system.
The lucas will help with item 3 on the list, as well as help prevent oil from getting splashed around at high temps, and help prevent dry starts.

I havn't seen any gas in crank case. But I will keep a look out for some.
I'll try what you had suggested and see if it works.
