Message	Don't tell me PCV valves .. they were replaced a year ago, when the plenum was removed and all the hoses/fuel pressure regulator/damper under and around the plenum were replaced ! I can't imagine they would clog, since the ones I removed were also in perfect shape after 10 years and 100K miles. I was boosting on the highway last night, and when I pulled into my garage, I noticed a strange burning smell from the driver side, I openend the hood to find that oil dipstick came out a couple of inches and the oil was all over the brake master, might have leaked on a hot turbo and caused the smell ... !! It never happened before .. so I was curious what could cause so much pressure to blow it out !? Matt 91TT Aztec Red stg III+
