any reason's why smoke would be coming out of my oil breather


im clueless and scared i need this car to last me till i can save up enough for a newer car

is it smoke or is it steam.. it probably steam from the oil heat, just like when you pull the dipstick out when the cars hot.

GS474, when was the last time your PCV valve was serviced? Does the "smoke" come out of the breather when the motor is running, or only after you shut it off?

[GS474]

probly when it came out of the factory

when its running how would i go about changing it or fixing it

[RF Overlord]

Here's how it's done...

Wow, I had no idea until I looked up that link what a PITA that is...

Also replace the crankcase air filter (also called the breather filter)...not to be confused with the filter in the airbox.
