oil pressure problem

NIXmx · 02-12-2007, 05:51 AM

Here and there my dipsick will just blow out and spew oil from the block. I took it to Toyota to have it checked out and they couldn't even figure it out. A MR2 guy said to change the PVC valve, but he couldn't find it. They recomended a Toyota oil filter, prolly just to sell it, but I needed to change the oil so I went for it. It helped, but it still happened. Not as often but I still had the prolem.

Theres a tube running from the top of the valve cover on the drivers side to the throttle body, it may be clogged or the valve cover hole may be clogged. remove your oil cap, pull the tube off the throttle body, and try blowing into the tube, the air should go through easily and come out the oil filler. If that checks out put the tube on the throttle body and try the same thing, the air should go though easily. If one doesnt check out, you know where to further check what is clogged
