Oil leaking from port.

[heffer86]

Was checking my oil today and noticed that one of my ports on 2.7 is leaking a bit. Is this normal? I took some pictures back in March of my engine bay. No leaking then. This is with 2,300 miles on the engine.

That is the pcv valve. It recirculates crankcase vapors into the intake manifold. It's probably blocked. Pop it out and you should be able to blow through it, in one direction. If you can't, it's plugged with tar. Get a new one and pop it in.

Ok, I took the hose off and was able to blow through it. Here is what the port looks like on the inside. Normal?

it ports oily eng vapor, wipe around it and make sure the hose is secure. it's fine.

Looks fine, wipe off the oil, reassemble and you are good. As you can tell it's just a friction fit; sometimes a little oil gets out.
