sams Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 it looks like a small amount of oil has been blown out the front of your dump valve. sat on the pipe and collected dirt. your car may be breathing a little heavy. not 100% on the reason why. it a good reason to put a catch tank in the breather system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bignum Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Its normal so get a small amount of oil mist from the bov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 That's pretty normal, nothing to worry about. Clean it up and see how much oil is there in a week or two. If it's a lot then you may want to get it checked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
