Which fault does a blocked crankcase ventilation valve produce?

  • A.Crankcase pressure rising and oil leaks appearing
  • B.A lean mixture, which follows from the additional air drawn into the inlet through the ventilation system
  • C.No fault
  • D.Pressurisation of the crankcase, which forces oil past the seals and often blows out the dipstick or the filler cap

Answer: A

Blow-by with nowhere to go pressurises the crankcase and pushes oil past every seal. The last option describes exactly that consequence, which makes it a correct and more vivid version of the same answer. The order in which the effects act is what decides the outcome, so it is worth establishing first. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a summary, avoids the usual confusion. Checking the units of each quantity catches a wrong formula before the arithmetic begins.
