Subject:PCV valve mod/re-route (Jetta Conversion) PICS

Hi all

On a used engine, does a PCV valve typically allow a little oil to get past it?

On my Jetta 2.0, if I route the air intake hose like this:

..... I'm concerned oil might to pool at bottom of bend on air intake hose.

If room allows, I might route the PCV outlet to the fresh air side of
the Caravan air cleaner like this:

Would that be wrong?

TIA, for any thoughts.

Neil.
