1. There is no PCV valve on that engine. But there is an oil trap, and a plastic "Y" fitting that can get gummed up with oil crud. The plastic fitting is easy to clean out and cheap to replace. The oil trap is a bit more difficult. When mine was doing the same thing, I dumped a can's worth of carb cleaner through the oil trap, and immediately changed the oil afterwards. In general, if the flame trap is clogged, you'll be getting oil seeping from the cam and front seals on the engine (take off the timing belt cover and check for this). ----- Yep. My 1989 740 was blowing out oil until my mechanic determined that the above was the cause. A clogged flame trap can cause engine pressure to build up a lot, and it will find a place to leak out. But if you are sure you see no leaks, then I don't know. Mine now has 225,000 miles on it. It needs new tie rod ends, which is scheduled for next week.
