The subject pretty much somes it up, the car has 203,000km, I've owned the car for a year and a bit, since 1630,00km. Stagezero all good.The top of the engine had some oil on it when I checked the spark plugs the other day(greyish tip, black base)but I'm not sure that it was there from an oil spill previously this summer. PCV system blockage???? Not sure how recently it was done, but the top orifice hose and clamp look newish and some tool marks around it so I know it was done at some point.Oil cap rubber is new,is it supposed to be vacuum at the open-endof the dip stick tube?

 

Does smoke come out the dipstick tube?

The weap hole is normal to loose some oil from.

 

I didn't notice smoke, I'll recheck and pay more attention.

 

I was out in the car for a half hour today, pulled the dipstick when I got home, lots of smoke, crap, I definitely would've noticed that before.

So, Tech I'm making an educated guess that this means blockage.?
Does this have anything to do with ocassional hard cold starts?

 

I would say something might be clogged in the vent system.

Shouldn't have anything to do with the cold start problem.
