I replaced the whole pcv and oil serpator box and I still ahve puffing from the dipstick tube. I cleaned out both holes on the engine they were restricted. Replaced all hoses (and the fuel pressure regulator while I had the rail off). I cleaned the manifold fully with engine cleaner and degreaser. I rinsed it all off dried it put all back together. I cleaned the egr hole and valve. Cleaned the throttle body. Removed the screen on the flame trap.


The strange thing is after driving 10 mins the puffing is gone. Unless I pull off the oil filler cap and it is back again.

I suspect I have a vacuum leak only when the car first starts up and then once driving it goes away. Anyone know what could cause this?

Any thoughts would be appreaciated.
