Corrado G60 PCV valve?

Can someone tell me, on a Corrado G60, is there any kind of filter in what I assume is the PCV valve (big square thing on the driver's side of the timing cover, with an elbow to the boost bypass tube) and if so how does one clean it? There's a lot of oil in the boost tubes and I think it was from the supercharger (it had a lot of oil spray around the front of the SC as well) but I suspect some of it may have been coming from the PCV as well. The car does have the baffle over the cam installed.

thanks,

I guess I should have tried harder to remove it before posting... well, I did (just had to pull harder, the grommet was kind of hard,) and I'm still as confused as ever... I expected to see a check valve and possibly some metal mesh in there to catch oil vapor... it appears to be just a hollow plastic body... that can't possibly be right, can it? This would mean that when the return line is pressurized that the crankcase is pressurized too? What is this part called, anyway, I am not having any luck finding a new one online.

thanks,

The return line is never pressurized. It's connected to the intake side of the charger. No valve or mesh in mine too. The charger sucks in a lot of oil vapour via this connection. I'm running a turbo and I first thought it was a bad comp. seal but disconnecting the crankcase ventilation solved all my oil problems.

I know it's connected to the intake side of the charger, but I can see certain conditions when it would be pressurized such as high RPM but closed throttle...

so it really has nothing in it? I'm half tempted to take it apart and stuff a pot scrubber in there to catch some of the oily goo if that is the case. Or would that negatively impact the supercharger seals? It seems like there is a LOT of oil getting through there.

No, when the throttle is closed then the chargers in and output are shorted via the bypass valve just like a blowoff valve on turbo engines. Use a separate oil catch tank to collect the oil vapour.
