Anybody who's been around here for the past year should know how much time0work I have put into my K5.

Today as I was going to change the EGR valve I found this:

Not what I wanted to see, not right now at least.

How did it get there in the first place?...pcv not in the intake hose. pick up something through the filter? Filter oil maybe?

Pass side PCV vents into the TB....pulled the hose and looked in it....thats where it came from.

So is that what the oil in the motor looks like too?

No, oil from pan was dirty, but not contaminated.

Couple of short trips = condensation in the valve cover area. How's the coolant level? Sometimes aluminum intake and iron heads causes corrosion and a leak at the coolant passages. Maybe do a compression test. I hope its not too bad, I'm jealous of your k5, gm's tpi is one of my top 5 favorite engines and same for k5s. Good luck buddy.

Could there be a crack in the throttle body coolant manifold...in the throttle body side?

Hoping for something minor.

If not, just get discgusted with it and I'll take it for ya. !!! Jus Sayin...

Describes most of my driving with it. As a last ditch effort I'll be installing an air-oil separator on the pass side.....maybe even driver side too.......?
