[QUOTE="John Zuber, post: 1017868, member: 59842"] By the way, if you installed a new PCV valve, then had issues with the coolant hoses associated with that valve, I don't understand how you removed the valve in order to fix the coolant leak. As I mentioned above, the PCV valve has two locking tabs, which are essentially a one-time use only. Breaking those small locking tabs on a new valve by pulling it off for the second time in order to re-work the coolant hoses would result in a PCV valve that would not stay sealed against the valve cover. Most likely you need to purchase a new valve that has undamaged locking tabs. That sounds like the source of an oil leak, if the new valve is loose. [/QUOTE]
