Bonjour friends,

It has been a long time since I have posted. Life has been very busy. Too much so that enjoying my R17 has been difficult.

I have a question.

I know that our factory valve cover has what I think is a valve that helps pull a light vacuum from inside the valve cover. The Gorgini Valve cover I have and another one pictured in the attached picture shows a valve attached. I am not sure to what and where it draws its vacuum to.

As in the air must contain a fine oil mist and must be captured or recycled some how.

As you can see the picture of my car, I just have a hose connected to the valve cover connector and that hose empties into a small connection can.

At one time I made the mistake of connecting this into a vacuum on the fuel injection horn. I disconnected that when oil was leaking everywhere a fine amount but clearly I made a mistake.

What suggestions do you have to connect the correct valve and to what do I connect it to? Also suggestions on where to get the valve needed would be very helpful.

Thank you very much for all your help.

I miss my trips to France.

Happy Holidays my friends.

Steve

Hello Steve,
to relax the oil vapors, this exists but I do not know the dimensions:
