I will be replacing clutch due to RMS failure @134k. Anyone know how to check PCV without removing an intake manifold ?

Pull the dipstick while engine is running to look for smoke also do the same with the oil cap. Also check #8/9/10 connections for blockage.

I've checked, no any smoke, all seems to work fine 8,9,10.

Any idea why rms is leaking ? is it a a wear and tear ?

Could #2 have a blockage ?

Unfortunately- with time all seals will fail. As mentioned, the RMS is a common wear item.

Would not hurt though to check the pcv system for blockages.
