Hi All.
115k on my Tahoe. At the 100k noticed a bit of oil leak around valve cover and driver side plugs were black. Getting a bit worse on oil presence and some oil consumption, concerns in last oil change, although “within GM specs.” Truck still runs great.
The PCV might be misbehaving causing this leak. Can this (the pcv) be cleaned while the valve cover is off or should the valve covers just be completely replaced to get the fresh pcv? I will do hose too. Note, as far as I can tell in TSB, this truck should have the new ports. I think it said cutoff was 2011 build for the old valve cover PCV port ones.
will attempt both sides.
