Oil at PCV valve
I noticed a slight increase in oil usage and was looking around and found oil at the PCV valve. I checked to see if the cover was baffled and it is. I run the cosmetic air breather style chrome (valve in the bottom) canister. The oil has been collecting above the valve in the canister. I cant tell if its being sucked into the intake or not. Is this harmful?? Does it require a specific valve? I also run 2 breathers on the other side for proper venting. Can you run too many breathers?? Since this is a conversion S-10, the clerks at the local parts stores just give a look of confusion and direct me to the performance accessory isle where everything is universal fit.

use a pcv valve for a 79 chevy camaro,and all its gonna do is cause smoke to come out of your exhaust and foul ur plugs,,,how much blow-by does your motor have?? it could be blowing the oil up through the baffle into the pcv valve and then sucking it down the carb and buring it
