To replace a crankcase ventilation separator, first, ensure the engine is off and cool. Disconnect the battery, then remove any components obstructing access to the separator, such as hoses or engine covers. Carefully detach the old separator from its mounting, clean the area, and install the new separator, ensuring it is securely fastened. Finally, reconnect any removed components, reconnect the battery, and start the engine to check for proper operation.

open crankcase ventilation and closed crankcase ventilation.
On a 2001 Ford Taurus, the oil separator is typically located inside the engine's crankcase ventilation system, often integrated into the valve cover or the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) system. To access it, you may need to remove the valve cover or the PCV valve itself. It's important to consult the vehicle's service manual for specific locations and detailed instructions.
In pre-PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) vehicles, that was a term for the crankcase ventilation pipe.
It vents the gasses that form inside the crankcase to the intake. It is a small round valve located on the top of the valve cover. They are inexpensive and easy to replace.
positive crankcase ventilation
Be sure the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system is in good working order.
To find the positive crankcase ventilation valve, look on the right bank of the engine. The valve is located beneath the intake manifold.
That would be part of the crankcase ventilation system. I guess you could call it the air filter housing to engine crankcase ventilation tube.
Crankcase ventilation is a system in internal combustion engines that allows for the removal of gases that accumulate in the crankcase during operation. These gases, primarily consisting of blow-by gases from the combustion process, can contain harmful pollutants and moisture. The ventilation system typically uses a PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve to redirect these gases back into the intake manifold for re-combustion, which helps reduce emissions and maintain engine efficiency. Proper crankcase ventilation is essential for engine longevity and performance.
No, the crankcase ventilation systems employed on diesels are not PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) systems. They are CCV (Closed Crankcase Ventilation) systems. Diesels do not produce sufficient vacuum for a PCV system. They use only a crankcase breather which is vented to the filtered side of the intake ducting. The engine can "breathe" both in and out via the breather cap. The round black thing on the TDI valve cover is a breather cap.
there is not one! the crankcase vents via a separator in the valve cover
