[Shotimes] Oil blow-by?

[Paul Nimz]

That hose is for air to enter the crankcase.  If blowby is present here then
there is no vacuum on the crankcase when needed.  Could be the blowby is
overwhelming the capabilities of the anemic V6 PVC system.  Some Auto-RX
will significantly reduce the blowby at by cleaning out the rings.

It could be the blowby is backing up.  Take the TB off and make sure the
small orifice is open at the bottom and in front of the throttle plate.
