    For the first time, I'm thinking about changing PCV valve on 89 civic.
    I got
    trouble finding where the PCV is located. I think I've find that
    thanks to
    this group forum. When I followed the vaccum hose connected from PCV
    value
    to the throttle body (am I right?) to my suprise, I've found chunk of
    sticky dirt and oil at the end of that hose. Why chunk of dirt
    surrounded it mixed with oil? Is there a oil seeping from PCV value
    vaccum hose? I don't know much
    about PCV valve. Is it possible that PCV value vaccum hose is leaking?
