Hi everyone,

It appears that I possibly have a plugged PCV (I hope!) due to some white-ish smoke coming out under high boost.
I've been searching for a how-to or any kind of thread that shows you how to remove/check the valve. I remember spotting one thread that said to look in the car manual for instructions but I haven't had any luck finding it around the house.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here's a link to the manual(s):

White'ish smoke usually indicates coolant being burned off. Have you noticed your coolant levels dropping at all?

I haven't noticed any difference with the coolant level. The overflow is still at full and the radiator level is at the top.

Not much going on with the oil/oil cap from my initial inspection. I will get a better look when I change the oil this weekend.

Thank you for the link btw!
