Parting ways with my 95 850 GLT
My car is leaking oil in the filler port. I was told it is the pvc system needs to be replaced. I don't want to o through the repair so i'm parting ways with it. I know some of you guys need parts. so if your in the NYC areaand you need some stuff let me know. I am not selling parts, take the whole car and go. Monday, its going to Junk yard.

Who told you that you needed the PCV replaced? Not to say that isn't the problem but there is the possibility that it is just the seal on the cap. They get old, dried, hard and do not seal anymore. Its actually recommended to replace that cap seal every time you change your oil. I have a new PCV system on my 850 and it still leaked oil from the cap. I have a second engine so I replaced the cap from that one thinking the seal might be better. Same problem. Then I made the trek to the dealer and bought a new seal. Fixed. Interesting thing when I removed the old seal, it just broke off it was very hard.
Even if you do decide you want to let it go, dont junk it. Post it for sale on the forum(s) and Craigslist...it WILL get picked up.
