Vacuum pulling off the passenger's side, through the engine, in thru the drivers side

 

Trust me, no offense meant. When mine plugged, I stopped by the dealer for a $5 oil seperator and got schooled like a 3rd grader for half hr on how it works. Lets just say I got it down pat now...

 

Thanks for all the good input guys. I've been very busy the past few days and haven't had time to explore the problem. Hopefully I'll be able to get under the hood tomorrow.

I'll post what I find.

In 7 years no one has figured out a bolt on PCV for the passenger side. I did my own research and have found the FV308 to be a perfect solution. 100% bolt on PNP compatible. Remove plastic/metal nipple from Intake, install FV308, and remove the plastic baffle from the passenger valve cover and call it a day.

 

Tftw!

 

Vacuum in the plenum pulls the air through since the air in front of the throttle plate is under atmospheric pressure.

This is why if the separator is clogged, the throttle plate will pull air from the crankcase which under load, just not through the separator. Hence why you'll see oil in the intake or on the throttle plate

 

My 2005 Freelander 2.5 has been pouring oil into the throttle body since I owned it, I have replaced the throttle body before once it became so made, cleaning didn't help it. Is this along the same line as the guy with the discovery? I have also replaced the MAF to Throttle Body Air Duct Hose. I been told that I need a Catch Can to catch the oil from from the crankcase breather hose. But, I should not be getting that much oil through the hose in the first place, and it seems to be getting worst, especially in going over the mountain road in Kyrgyzstan.
