I have a rd fabs intake, but didn't specify that I wanted a little nipple thing so I can hook up the hose from the valve cover to the intake tube so they didn't put one on (grr nickel and dime you to death), so I put a crancase filter on the end of the tube and shoved it down into the engine bay. Long story short, I opened my hood today to fill up the washer fluid and found all sorts of oil and crap coming out of the hose. This is not good. What should I do with this hose since I don't have one of these nipple things on my intake to connect the hose to?

Just put a filter on the crank case like this....

Good way to *** up your engine.

Has anyone looked up what that tube is there for? you should research it and see what purpose it serves.

he is actually on the right track.


you need to put a catch can on it.

instead of being a dick, why not add something that helps?

i had a breather on my 2.2 for months, didn't cause any problems at all.

I knew it was called something like that but couldnt think of the name. I'll have to buy one. Don't have the time to make one.

thats the oil return line, just splice in an oil catch can into the line

its just a little tube for overflow

Oil return line?Over flow?Where do you people get ur information from lol?Its designed to take the vapors out of the crank case and reburn them.That hose is on the intake for a reason.There was a big post about it awhile ago.The intake shoulda came with one.You pay good money for that **** and they dont put it on,id have them send you another one.Your best bet is to have it on the intake and put a catch can inbetween.

ehhhhhhhhh yes and no. there is a fine line between good and bad on these engines. which in a sense is why some of them go blamo.

pcv system sucks ass. always has since 97. the pcv system is there to create a negative pressure/vacuum on the crankcase. nothing more. there is a way around this. a better way.

What do you think is a better solution?

i plumbed a kobalt air/oil seperator into the line and i have no problem and dont feel like crawling around in the snow to see if its collecting any so i dont know if it is actually working or not

quadracer0387

^^^ thats what i did and it works

look just plum it over to you cold air intake if you have one or the stock breather hose after the maf.. thats where it go so put it there
