CCV Oil Leak..?
Is this the signs of a CCV oil leak? if so do I just need 2 ORings or something else?

I'm pretty sure mine has a little seepage there also. I think you're fine. I would just check to make sure your tube isn't clogged or pinched and that the gases are venting freely.

Its not. It drips freely, and I can see smoke when I'm at a stop light. Also, the metal plate the hose end is up against has oily residue, so it is venting properly.

Have you got any low spots in the tubbing where the oil could puddle?

The lowest spot is where the tube ends. But I will double check.

It actually looks like the elbow is pointed up coming off the doghouse....if so, you could have oil puddling up and leaking out there, but the o-rings should keep it from doing that. Have you check the screws to make sure they are tight?

The elbow is pointed up, but it has to to get over the master cylinder, at least thats how it is in the Riffraff instructions..

I can try to see if there is a way to route it down, but Clay shows it done like this.

Mine is pointed the same way but without the leak. I wonder if the o-rings slipped when you installed them and now it's seeping. There's only one way to find out...

Dont recall.. Theres a large amount of wires behind my air filter between the filter and the firewall. Think they go there. I have no idea what they do, think they are for the brake controller.
