Hi,

I replaced my oil Trap with crankcase vent hose. I have inspected all the holes after cleaning. All seems Ok.

My Air hose for throttle body also gets dirty because of oil coming from Oil trap hose.

Since I Changed oil trap I still see smoke coming out from my Dip stick which considered to be oil trap clogged as per many experts.

Any idea where I am wrong or how I can fix it. Will appreciate.

Did you make sure the oil return port on the engine (the lower port where the PCV tank connects was free from blockage, best way is to attach a length of 5/8" hose to the port and blow through it, if you can't blow through it it is still blocked - Mike
