PCV Valve or bad head gasket? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

And I'm assuming it is accessible to remove once the OCV is removed, or would one need to remove the valve cover?

I just noticed that the oil that was dripping from the pcv valve reached A/C compressor, actually it passed through the alternator until it reached the compressor near the belt. Can it be affected both the compressor and alternator? I'm going to take out the front bumper to have a clear look this saturday

The compressor is sealed, so other than making the clutch slip it would not have an effect. The alternator is wide open, but it should not effect anything, other than maybe burning off a bit.

Mmmm ok, kind of ought :/

Today, I was parked for about 1-2 hour inside the car with the a/c on and the a/c for some reason the output of air was 2 low and the temperature was warm. When I got home and checked under the hood, the oil that was leaking from the ocv valve reached the top of the alternator near the pulley

Again, it is "below" the OCV. You can remove it with or without removing the OCV.

Looks like CT is talking about the parts in circle 1, the OCV itself is in circle 2.

Thanks for that, makes it a little more clear

Quick update:

I changed today the OCV valve and guess what? It was broken in half and another surprise, it was sealed with a strong "industrial" sealant in the middle of the OCV valve
