pcv ?

[97svtholder]

I have a 97 cobra and the pcv vavle clicks when idleing its opening and closeing all the time
Is this normal?

Also motor was just redone last may and they was some oil in valley of intake last week?
How is oil getting there? Thanks

The pcv should be pretty much closed at idle (most manifold vacuum) and opened at wide open throttle (when vacuum drops under acceleration). If the pcv is staying closed while under a load it could be forcing crankcase pressure out the path of least resistance and subsequently causing an oil leak for you. You can pull the pcv out and check it by blowing in both ends. one direction should seal and the other should allow air to pass. If it is in question replace it. Try to track down the oil leak. Could be coming from intake, imrc's valve cover or timing cover. You haven't given much detail, so it's hard to figure out where it's coming from. Where in the valley are you seeing the oil and how much? Pics?

Hope this helps.
