Hi,
The wife's 2016 1.2 petrol Fiat 500 has been consuming quite a bit of oil recently. Car has 56,000 miles and always gets fresh (high quality) oil / filter every 7,000 miles. There are no oil leaks visible from under the vehicle around the sump etc but oil is apparent where the air filter box sits on top of the throttle body so I am thinking maybe a problem with the PCV / oil separator / breather which I understand can be problem areas for these engines. Appreciate any help on locating the PCV on this car (nothing in the Haynes manual and couldn't see a lot online either) and any other tips / helpful suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
