OIL (of course) exiting the CCV bypass tube. I've had the CCV mod on for quite a while and really never saw that much oil come from the hose. Now all of a sudden, I'm seeing a half-dollar sized spot. Does oil build up within the line and eventually start puking out? My line runs from the motor to back behind the rear end. Has it just taken that long to pool up and now it's showing up or is there another cause for this? I DO drive :burnit !!!!!

is your ccv hose routing, including a hump or loop?
and yes if your getting on it all day , you can expect a lttle more blow by carrying oil vapors and eventually form a drop which combines with other drops and makes a small puddle

you can make a slight hump that is higher than the valve cover, this will allow most droplets to migrate back into the engine vice out on the ground and still allow for good air flow

my 02 7.3 would leave a nice fine coating on the front of my fuel tank and drip every now and then. collected it in a a plastic jar for a while to see how much was being lost, it was unsurmountable after a few weeks so i ditched it and let her run free,

I think there is a small hump in the line under the truck where oil could accumulate. I will try the hump at the valve cover and see if that helps. I also noticed today that parked on a grade (front up) there was MORE oil than even before (baseball size), but after getting home there was no oil dripping on the garage floor. Maybe that cleaned the line out?????
