PCV System

We have a 1995 9-5 with the four cylinder base engine with 82,000km on the
clock. I have noticed that when I check the oil level with the engine hot I
can see vapours coming out of the filler tube. Recently, I removed the cam
cover to stop an oil weep. There is a plastic tube that enters the cam
cover at the rear right side (as you look at it). I presume this is the pcv
tube. Just for the hell of it, I sucked and blew into the tube. Normally,
pcv systems are one way, in my experience at least. This one, however,
sucked and blew with no difficulty and I could hear liquid bubbling when I
did this, rather like a hookah pipe. Yesterday, after a 1,600 km round trip
over Christmas and at the end of a five hour cruise down the highway, I
checked the oil. The dipstick kept coming up with yellow-brown scum on it.
Condensation on the filler tube??? Does this sound as if the pcv system is
working as it should? Is there a schematic for the system somewhere on the
web??
Any suggestions??
Thanks,
Tony in Oakville, Ontario
