So i took off the accordian hose the other day and it was covered in oil. I suspect the PCV system to be the cause of this therefore i'm smoking upon deceleration. I plan on getting a catch can using an N/A PCV pipe and running a line to the accordian hose. What am i supposed to do with the pipe by the TB? Also, is the PCV system the reason why i'm smoking as described? Thanks

When your engine is running, leave the dipstick open and see if theres any pressure coming out. The oil and smoke could be caused by the pcv system or like my car the turbo. Either way if you want to run a catch can the right way

Before doing anything concerning the PCV system, perform a compression and cylinder leak down test to determine the general health of the engine. The results of these tests will help point you to a correct repair, without guessing.
