#1 of 2 Grand Vitara oil leak by andyjack Dec 12, 2007 (11:28 am)
1999 V6. Changed oil and filter as always at 95,000. About 96,000 noticed oil leak. Appears to be from oil pan area not valve cover. Filter and plug OK. Seems to only happen when driving on free way (70-75 mph) trips. Seems ok when driving local (10-15 miles at 55-60 mph). Snugged up all the oil pan bolts I could reach and no help. Wanted to check PCV but I can't find it. My parts dealer says it has one according to his book. Need to know where PCV is and any other ideas why this sudden oil leak.

Replying to: andyjack (Dec 12, 2007 11:28 am) i have a 2004 2.5 v6 and the pcv valve is located on the drivers side of the engine in the Rear of the engine. it is a thread in type. it threads into the valve cover. I had a hard time finding mine, only cause i didnt know what i was looking at. I removed mine and soaked in it cleaner and replaced it. the replacements from the local parts stores werent the same as oem. Im not sure but i think it requires a 17mm wrench to remove the pcv...
