I was driving around today, and my oil pressure light came on for a split second. Checked the oil, and it was a little low, decided to change it since it has been close to 6000 and at my last oil change, which at around 50K, I switched to synthetic. While checking though, I noticed I had what appeared to be burned oil on the drivers side heat shield. I am thinking PCV valve, everyone think I am on the right page? Also, I never thought of the burning smell, because I just had my rear passenger caliper lock up at the same time, most likely covering the oil smell. Thanks for any help and input. Have read a bit, just wanna make sure I am buying the right parts before I start brakin' stuff.

 

Could be the PCV valve not seated correctly.
Could be the valve cover leaking.

Clean off the oil residue and see if you can trace it to the source, if it comes back.

 

Will do, thanks. For what its worth, I didn't notice oil anywhere else, and its pretty clean as I detailed it in June for the Bantam Jeep Cruise, and have touched it up since, this leak on the manifold, whatever it is, is recent.
