black05gt · March 11th, 2011, 06:48 PM

do i need it its not what i was holding in my second picture

fogged306 · March 11th, 2011, 06:51 PM

Plug that back in there.. I would change your oil too if that's been off for a while. That's just an open hole into the crankcase with the valve off of there so who knows how contaminated your oil is now.

fogged306 · March 11th, 2011, 06:51 PM

What you were holding was the grommet and it looked like the valve was inside the grommet. If that's a bunch of dirt on those grommet barbs, clean it off before you put it back in.

yeah i just changed the oil about 3 weeks ago should i still change it

If it's that fresh, you can probably get away with it.

It's hard to tell if its coming from the PCV or the lower intake gasket. Obviously your PCV was off but don't be surprised if it still leaks. If your PCV and grommet do not fit tight, get another grommet, they are like $4. I used a little bit of black rtv on mine to help keep it in there.

im guessing i can buy a grommet from autozone but where can i buy the rtv at
