I have searched the old forums as well as this one and I haven't really found a conclusive answer. Would this work? Putting a breather filter on each of the valve covers and then plugging the intake pcv openings? I am getting annoyed by this blow-by issue. It isn't like it is sucking oil by the quart, but I don't like the idea of the engine getting oil with the air mixture. Has anyone tried this on a v6? I know that it has been done on the zetecs. If I can't do this I guess I will have to build an air/oil seperator.

I have read that people have tried it in the past and that it causes driveablity issues. Go to Home Depot and purchase a Husky Air compressor filter for 11-12 dollars for your oil/air seperator so you don't have to build one yourself. It works great. I know, because I have one installed currently.
