Leaky BOV?

[WhiteTsiAwd]

I was messing around under the hood the other day and i took off my Recirc. pipe and i noticed at idle my BOV is pushing out air.

Is it supposed to do this at idle or is it leaking? I figured it is leaking but im not 100% sure so thats why im asking on here.

Thanks,
Cody

Pushing out air?

Are you sure it's not sucking in air?

So you created a large vaccum(sp) leak and your bov is sucking/pushing air to makeup for it?

Are you still on the stock 1G BOV??? I am assuming so since i did not see an aftermarket one listed in your vehicle profile...is it crushed???

why do people do this, you shouldnt even take of the bov pipe, your car will run like shit with out it. and pretty much what ^he said you are creating a vacuum, at idle it will be blowing, but when you start driving it will fell like its sucking creating a vacuum inside then the presure from the intercooler pipe will be sucked out through the valve and blown out through the hole. its normal, if i were you id hook it back up.
