Sorry to jump in here but I'm somewhat of a novice and am a little confused.
There is talk of pressure going one way or the other after installing a PCV
valve. I've been fighting a slight leak at the real of my valve cover for a
while now along with the usual drips here and there. Here's my question:
If I put a PCV valve in as suggested, ie from the "tee" on the valve cover to
the plug in the manifold, would the pressure exacerbate the leak(s) or
eliminate/reduce it/them?
Thanks for you help.
