On my 1.3 I have a little OIL in the line from the PCV. The car burns NO oil at all and runs perfectly maybe the PCV is bad? I am going to get an AC Delco one from Chevy next week and see if it helps.

Does anyone have any input?

The pcv clogs and is often neglected. If in any doubt replace it. While your at it pull off the Ytube and clean it out as well. Gunk builds up in it as well as the pcv. When one clogs the other is probably clogged. Even if it's not clogged, you don't want to put a new pcv in only to blow a bunch of gunk into it that's stuck in the ytube.

Burns no oil as in you never add any between changes or you never see any smoke from the exhaust ?

Catch can will solve it, but it's a band aid on a bullet wound.

The pcv and Ytube are you easier and most likely problems.
