hey guys i got a bad leak at the pvc valve... i have put a new valve new band clamp with zip tie and it still leaks at 10 psi!!!

its leaking at the hose to pcv valve area.

any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated!

 

How do you know its leaking. What did you do to discover the leak?

 

I did a Boost leak test. And sprayed soapy water on every connection and that one was leaking

 

Any ideas?

 

Replace the hose?

 

Remove the hose, and hit the nipple with some hair spray, then quickly reassemble and tighten snugly.

 

imma try that right now!

 

Well I think it fixed it but to be sure I bought the kracka Karnak case system that will no doubt fix the issue and help out in other areas

 

I had the same problem with the oem pcv valve. Leaked at 10 psi. Bought a new one from Mitsu, and it leaked the same. Like you, I installed a check-valve between the pcv valve and the intake manifold. No more leak. That was about two years ago. I recently checked for boost leaks to 30 psi, and still no leak at the pcv!

 

Yea I tried a new valve and I could blow on it and it would sightly leak. So hopefully the kit I bought fixes it!

 

I bought a PCV valve from Advance Auto. It looked like an exact replacement but it leaked when I blew through it. I got my money back.

 

mine were bought from auto zone

 

part number/brand for said check valve?

 

I bought mine here:

35 psi without issues!

 

what would the symptoms of a leaky PCV be other than the obvious? Like driving symptoms.. would a leaky pcv affect the smoothness of a WOT pull?
