Is this for a BOV? The nut on the right? It's a saab 900 i/c.

I dont know for sure but it looks like they might have used an endtank meant for something else and just plugged the hole.

I have it on my Saab IC too, I figure its a drain plug for all that oil that gets pumped back into the intake if you haven't by-passed the oil lines that are plumbed back into the intake to vent the valve covers. I know when I unplugged mine I had a nice bit of gooey sludge ooze out. :lol:

Thanks, I figured it wasn't for a bov but I remembered a guy on ebay saying the 900 i/c had a hookup for a bov on it and that's the only thing even close. It's pretty small, a drain for the oil build up sounds like it's probably right. Thanks again. :)
