PCV problem continues 850 2.5 1996 non turbo.

Had smoke blowing out of oil dipstick tube for a while now, so replaced pcv system.Replaced oil seperator,cleaned hoses, connections and removed flame trap.(badly blocked) Still no improvement and only way to stop oil seeping slowly out of oil filler cap seal is to leave dipstick out slightly to allow engine to breathe (however at times fumes come into car through vents.)

Ive not replaced flame trap yet but would this make any difference to smoking dipstick anyway? Ive noticed that if I disconnect flame trap connection and hold thumb over its end, while engine running, it stops smoke coming out of dipstick tube(mean anything?) There is a smaller hose (vacuum hose?) running alongside larger hose between oil seperator and flame trap and could not be sure this was not blocked but larger hose ok,would this create a problem if also blocked?

Did you replace the larger and smaller hose that connects to the base of the accordion hose and also clean out the nipple at the accordion hose? These would all make a difference- if any of these are clogged up, you're still going to get positive pressure.
