I'm looking to replace the PCV because I have oild build up around the dipstick housing and puffs of white smoke from the dipstick while running a hot engine.

Now I have a milky white substance on the dipstick along with condensation. Is this a result of the bad PCV as well?

Looks bad but you guys tell me.

 

just means you been taking her on short trips not letting her warm up fully and the moisture is not evaporating...just take her on a nice spirited run on the highway for a while...

 

But this was right after city and highway driving for about 40 minutes

 

Could be cause of the pcv. I would change it asap, before yu blow a rear main....

 

Good news is I am using my parents car and the Volvo sits in the garage until I get the PCV. No one drives it I also found my engine serial number in order to get the right PCV system.

If anyone wants to know for future reference, there should be a white sticker on the side of the timing belt cover. It should read Se#; (number) It should be a 6-digit number between 300000 and 400000 for the '95 model

 

The number is also stamped on the block on the back side like under #1 cylinder where the head meets the block.

 

I've heard that to see the number on the engine you need;
1. A system of mirrors
2. Magnifying glass
3. 20/20 vision
4. Patience

I'm glad I had the sticker. Made life easier

 

You can see if easy when you have time try it.

 

Will do next time I am home. I think next weekend.
