1999 S70 PCV flame trap

Finally finished replacing the PCV flame trap on daughter's Volvo S70. It was stopped up with carbon and gunk. Made the mistake of putting a new gasket on the oil filler cap when it was stopped up and it started puking oil out of the cam seals. Put in PCV kit from ipdusa, which involves pulling the intake manifold. Haven't run it much, but it appears the seals may not be pouring oil any more. I hope that continues.

Keep an eye on it, typically the cam seals don't heal themselves. The oil trap was nasty, hopefully you got the tube down to the sump cleared as well.
