Default I pull dipstick out of motor and air and oil sprays from dipstick tube, what is this??????

I checked pvc black box on back of motor, and the little valve, and both lines on top of the box. If I pull both hoses out of the black box on top, I feel air coming through, but nothing through the hoses>? why is the bottom end holding that pressure......

maybe you need a new PCV valve. if this is stuck then your crankcase wont ventilate
