c70Savanh · Jan 19th, 2010, 01:19

Hi every Body,

I have 98 C70 Coup and have a question requarding to the PVC Stop-Up.

How can I tell if the PVC stop-up? Because, when I took the dipstick out while the ingine still running and I notice that the white steam come out from the dipstick hole. It's that mean the PVC is stop-Up? Please let me know when you get a chance.

Thanks! and I appreciate for your help.

Is there oil coming out of the filler cap also ? ?If so chances are you will need to get the PCV looked at.

I appreciate it very much for your responded. And yes! But not too much and just enought to notice. If the oil is not stop-up, then nothing shouldn't come out from where the dipstick pipe right?
