Wink Idea on way to pypass the PCV and other breather

Both of the breathers on my 3.0 95 put out fumes and with it comes oil. That leaves deposits in the plenum. Im often at the hospital a lot in surgery and we have these filtering devices for air that come built into a clear hose. My PVC and other breather are now connected to two of these filters and via a T-tube they lead back to the manifold port. It works great. There will be now oil entering my plenum anymore. Plus the EGR is gone. I will try to post pics of my device as soon as I can.

I hate EGR... turned the inside of my intake plenum into a charred campfire ring... I could fuel a coal furnace for a month with the amount of crap I cleaned out of there from the EGR

yea but on the driver side there was no filter at all. it was sucking straight oil into the throttle. This way is cool since the tubing is clear and made of surgical grade whatever. So its very very heat resistant. You can see what would become carbon. The gases though still make it through. And it was free.
