Cleaning Blow By Tube

[MWilliams]

Hello All,

I have just hit 64k on my 04. 5 and developed an oil leak. After climbing under the truck, it appears to be coming from the blow by tube. I was wondering if you can take this tube off and clean it out? Prior to this, it has never leaked a drop. So I am hoping it is just build-up in the tube.



Thanks,

theres a filter of sorts under the plastic (vanity)valve cover, dont know if its a cleanable item maybe someone else will chime in.

Nope, cant really take it apart more than just removing the hoses. Seems like the best thing to do is just extend the draft tube down farther so it doesnt muck things up.
