I think that several people have tried to make this clear. The oil warms up
and water evaporates out into the crankcase. the PCV valve allows the water vapors to be sucked from the crankcase into the intake manifold. It is mixed with the intake air goes through the cylinder and pumped out the exhaust. It is not a closed system since the vapors are free to exit the motor via the exhaust ( while running ).

Crankcase fumes are sucked into the induction manifold (and burned by passing through the engine) via the Postive CrankCase Ventilation check valve. The question still remains....how does the moisture escape as modern engines are not vented to the atmosphere but are a closed loop. We aren't talking about crankcase fumes but about moisture supposedly being boiled off into the atmosphere. |
