no oil in filter

hey guys, i was changing out the pcv valve on my 97 civic ex and i pulled the filter off and i noticed that now oil came out of the filter when i pulled it off the motor and i sticked my figure down the hole and still nothing. so i was wondering if my oil pump is bad or not.

Re: no oil in filter

is there oil in the engine? how long had the engine been shut off before you took the filter off?

It's normal for the filter to drain its oil after the engine has not run for several minutes.
