Oil leaking onto air filter... again
Hi,
A couple of months ago, I changed my engine air filter because I noticed a little bit of oil had dripped onto it. Anyway, I just did a long drive and I noticed that the problem has returned. There's also that burning oil smell again, but it's concentrated in the air filter. So I think the two are related.
Could it be the PCV valve malfunctioning? Where is the valve even located?
Also, I'm about 150 miles from home now, do you think the car will be ok to drive that distance back?
Thanks
