pigiron,FORD USES THE INTAKE INLET PIPE TO THE TURBO TO PULL CRANKCASE VAPOR OUT OF THE ENGINE SO IN THE PROCESS IT SCAVAGES SOME OIL OUT OF THE LEFT VALVE COVER.YOU CAN BUY A RAYCOR SYSTEM TO FILTER THIS,VERY COSTLY.OR YOU CAN TURN AROUND THE VALVE VENT AND ADD A PIECE OF HOSE AND DUMP IT TO THE GROUND,NOT EPA FRIENDLY.THE BEST AND CHEAPEST THING TO DO IS REMOVE THE HOSES AND CLEAN WITH CONTACT CLEANER,AND RETORQUE THE CLAMPS.
