PCV Question

Post by patcal »

I have finally got my 98 S70 fixed. It has been since Thanksgiving since I have been trying to fix it. After plugs, cap & rotor, rear cam seals & cam position sensor, I took it for a good drive this morning. Ran good but I decided to do a glove test. I noticed smoke coming out of the oil filler & dipstick tube. When I put the glove on it did not suck in like it used to. It did not blow up either. Just sat there. Did I screw something up? The car was hot & sitting level as Robertdiy say to. Any thoughts? Thanks.
