OK,
So my PCV valve went bad on my 03 fx4 ranger. I noticed that this had happened when oil started to drip out of the intake manifold. I took off the PCV valve and oil dripped out of the vacuum line going to it. I then took off the air cleaner hose going into the intake manifold, also took off the throttle body so that I could look into the manifold. I saw that the inside of it was coated with oil and there was a puddle of oil sitting at the very bottom of the manifold waaaay in the back of it. My question is this: What should I do now? Take the intake manifold off to mop up the oil??? Could that oil getting in there have harmed my engine???
Thanks for any advice!!
