Message	I had an oil leak coming from my rear main seal. Since it is new I figured my PCV valves were leaking. I removed both my PCV valves and pressurized them at 20 psi to see if they were leaking boost into the crankcase. One leaked a little, the other leaked a lot so I ordered 2 new ones. I just got around to testing them and they both leak worse than either of my old ones. Has anyone else noticed this? Am I missing something?

I had some older - ThunderZ 22:01:12 11/20/10 how did u pressurize them? (n/m) - Nis300owner 23:04:25 11/20/10 Pretty much the same way as zhundred3x except I clamped - ThunderZ 12:26:11 11/21/10 I just got a new set from Nissan - ZXoltan 07:50:36 11/21/10 Here's a pic of what I did. I turned the pressure regulator - zhundred3x 11:29:30 11/21/10 I think you're worrying too much about it - LitlElvis 12:05:17 11/21/10 At 5 psi they leak CONSIDERABLY more than the typical boost - zhundred3x 12:33:31 11/21/10
