its just a basic check valve sometimes they can become clogged with oil/----.

pull the little hose off and clean her out.

i heard your not suppose to clean them, and that you should buy new ones, about $5 bucks at automotive stores.

yeah, buy a new one since they are inexpensive. Save the trouble of having it screw up again
