For those who've done a Coyote swap...
Anyone notice that their driver side PCV system stays bone dry always? Or maybe it's just my motor.
The passenger side pulls a lot of oil (predictably) due to its suction originating behind the throttle body and thus subject to a lot of vacuum. Got it. But I've never seen even a single drop anywhere along the length of the entire PCV system that I have for the driver side. It's plumbed correctly, has no kinks in any line, and I know it should function correctly. Just looking for anyone's experience at this point.
Reason for this thread: my driver side valve cover has a tiny leak on the exhaust side, and I hate the smell of burning oil. It's more annoying than anything, not too serious since it's such a small leak. I did re-torque the valve cover bolts just yesterday to make sure they haven't backed out any, though the motor since the swap has about 11k miles on it so it's still a baby. Some could be tightened with a 1/4" ratchet but they required basically everything I could give it with only wrist (from under the car).
