I was smelling oil yesterday when we were running errands. When we got home, I opened the hood and found oil at the driver's side rear of the engine. The oil was running down the back of the valve cover and dripping on the exhaust manifold. I am pretty certain the oil is leaking at the rear nipple of the upper intake manifold where the PCV line connects (it's kind of underneath the manifold). I could put a small hose clamp on the hose (hose assembly was recently replaced) and the leak would be solved, but, what would cause oil to end up in the PCV hose? Vehicle has 84K miles.
