Hi,

I’m hoping that one of you clever people out there can help me with an issue relating to a residue of oil in the air intake hose from the air filter housing to the engine.

I have a 1988 Volvo 240 GL with a B200E K-Jetronic engine.........I have tried to understand from other posts as to what may be causing this, but am totally confused with talk of “Flame Traps”, “PCV’s”, “Oil Traps” etc. It all seems to be located under the intake manifold, and as a novice to this game I am loathed to go in gung ho without knowing what the cause may be. Perhaps it isn’t an issue at all, but I suspect something may need attention.....the engine has done 221k of miles after all!

Many thanks in advance of any advice forthcoming!

All the best.

Charles.
