Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I noticed some oil residue around the connection piece for the oil separator vent line. Also after the car is running for a while you can smell the oil from that side of the car (passenger side). Any idea what could be causing the escape of oil vapors in the area. Here is a pic of the part where the oil residue is. I am thinking possibly the o-ring could be the culprit. Wondering if this a common issue and what it takes to resolve. Any help is appreciated. connector.jpg

POST 2Original post

I doubt it's the O-ring. Inside is a spring activated valve that gets clogged easily. Try cleaning it or just replace it.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That is what I figured, already ordered it. How is that held in? I see removing the AOS vent line won't be a problem but not sure what is holding the fitting?

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So can someone tell me how to remove the actual connector, is it just press fitted so would prying on it remove it?
