Hey!. New guy on the forum here. My 863 Turbo (3600 hrs) is running fine. No smoke from the exhaust but the air filter (larger of the 2) is getting full of oily soot after only about 50 hours. Also the inside of the engine bay is getting a film of the same stuff. Since the engine doen't smoke when used where is this stuff coming from? I have to change the filters very often until I find a solution. Any insight would be appreciated.

I recall that another member had this problem and it was the positive crankcase ventilation valve causing it. Download the engine service manual at this link and go to page 115.

Thanks, Buddy. I'll pull the existing one and see what it looks like. Much appreciated.
