Default Help please,,,,,Oil all over the hood and valve cover

I'm trying to figure out this problem. I was told that I don't have the PCV valve and I don't have a catch can.......do you think the oil is splashed because I don't have the PCV valve.... OR.... is it that I need a catch can?

I need your help please,, thanks

what block and set up do you have.?? check to see if you have a blakc canister in the back of your block you should be able to see it with a flashlight. follow the lines if any they are vacuum lines but kinda thick about the size of your finger underneath the middle of the manifold. why dont you start the car and see exaclty where the oil is coming from?

yeah...you want to get a pcv valve and plug up that hole...any oil displaced by the valve train is gonna shoot out that hole.

^^^^^^^^ doesn't need to be messing with his engine. I thought it was absolutely hilarious when you posted a pic of a open port stareing directly at your valvetrain and said "I think it is coming from here" hahaha. Thanks for the laugh. Oh and by the way. If your looking to plug it with something, why not hook up a pcv? take it to a shop.

That's where the stock PCV valve goes, and obviously you don't have one. Either run a hose out of that hole and vent it somewhere else, or plug it.

looks like you got the wrong valve cover on that engine.

stuff a PCV valve in that hole for now.

please. people get laughed at on here daily, so don't take it so personally. Quite frankly, you have had it easy, most people would have to wear a flame suit to aviod getting burned so badly with a question like this. but if it will help you sleep tonight, I'm deeply sorry, and just in case you haven't figured it out, (pcv) positive crankcase ventilation.
