You mean the PCV hoses? they connect directly to rocker covers and go straight to the air filter box. When I had leftover coolant in my sump the breather hoses were the first to clog up.

Yep, i got ya, thanks.

Technically, he's right, the engine MAY benefit from replacing these parts, then again, some mechanics are shifty little yob's, and dealership shops usually HAVE to suggestive sell product to the client, its amazing how many people would not know the difference, and if the mechaniic told me that, th...

i have milky oil in the sump, rad is down, oil n water in the air filter (from breather pipe) So, the water in the oil, where did it come from? The welsh plugs inside the tappet cover?
