When replacing spark plugs, of course had to remove upper intake manifold and so I replaced o-ring gaskets. I noticed some oil had accummulated around the gaskets and traced the source back to the PCV from the front cylinder bank. Replaced the PCV valve and after few months of driving the oil is still present where the PCV hose connects to the upper intake manifold. No noticeable oil consumption.

Is this normal (Somehow don't believe so)? Does anyone have a "fix" for this?

Thank you,

oil leaking into intake manifold

i have the same problem, i know the valve is suposed to breath but i have oil all over the intake manifold. IS NORMAL I WANT TO FIX IT. what about the breather does it suppose to stop oil from going to the intake manifold
can anyone help me whith this

 

Yes, the PCV valve will allow some oil into the intake. that is just a fact of what it does. As long as you are not seeing any considerable useage of oil (more than say 1/2 quart/liter), then I would not worry about that. If you have more, then you need to determine where the oil is coming from and correct the situation.
