FaultCrate・GMC Yukon XL 2000–2006・Leak
Candidate cause (the documents say what to do)
Oil leak after cold start from frozen PCV system (rear main seal)
Oil leak can occur shortly after a cold start in extremely low ambient temperatures (approximately below 10°F (= -12.2 °C)) or with excessive short-trip driving.
This is the result of a frozen PCV system and excessive crankcase pressure.
What to do
- Clean the area of the leak and clean and dry the PCV hoses.
- Fit oil fill cap 12589430 (vented) to prevent a recurrence.
In the records
- Oil Fill Cap: replaced 2
- PCV Hose: cleaned 2
