[DMCForum] Re: oil in the intake manifold (dodge monaco/eagle premier question)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Was this an attempt to fix some sort of perennial PCV problem? Usually
liquid oil sucked backwards into the breather hose indicates clogged
or malfunctioning PCV. On a properly operating system the only thing
getting sucked is air (and vapors) into the intake.
