Oil in the air filter?

[tekisui]

I am getting oil in the air filter. The air filter is saturated at one point. It appears to be the point where the thermo valve comes in.

Is this serious? Could something be done to the thermo valve, or replaced to stop it.

I changed the PCV Valve and some hoses. Thanks in advance for any help!

1. What kind of car/truck/suv?

And what size engine?

2. 1977 Toyota Pick-up.

20R engine, 4 cylinder.

Like I said, the oil comes in at one point. I don't think I can get the thermo valve replaced, or the air filter assembly. Parts store and the dealer no longer carry them. I cleaned the carburetor, and it now seems to stay clean.

SO, now I am wondering if the thermo valve/Hot air intake can be adjusted?

3. A 1977 has a carb and the air cleaner sits on top, no?

It would also have a hose going from the valve cover to the air cleaner wih a little filter or something in the air cleaner housing that the hose connects to, no?

4. Try a Salvage Yard

To see if they might have the part you need to replace ?
