Volvo D13 CCV Leak - Closed Crankcase Ventilating - Oil Separator

Hi al!!

2016 Volvo D13. No CCV codes.

I read the many threads on here about leaking CCV units and how they can be cleaned and/or re-sealed.

Two questions... I took the entire unit out to inspect it. It is leaking from where the metal housing (the part that holds the filter) meets the engine.

The spinner spins freely with no issues... should I check for something else?

1. Can the gasket there go bad and cause it to leak? (Gasket between engine and housing?)
   
2. Where does that oil go that sits at the bottom of the housing? Inside the engine? Or is it supposed to come out from one of the hoses?

 

Ty!

Does the fact that the spinner is running freely when i turn it with my hand deems it in OK condition? I don’t want to put it back if it’s broken.

Also... what’s the engine opening for? This is for educational purposes. To let the oil back in the engine?

 

Ty!
I will change the gasket and hope for the best. Thing leaks a lot! Hopefully this stops it.

Appreciate you!

 

Good to know pal! Thank you again.

 

Hey there!

Thank you for the tips. I took it apart already believe it or not. Pain to get the bottom left bolt out but it does work. Had to unscrew a few wires that go to the compressor and that’s it. Nothing else was on the way.

I will be doing this this weekend or the following one and update you all.
