Pardon but I don't understand the question... ALL vac is negative pressure. If refering to the pcv it's job is to take the negative pressure in the carb area and allow the pressure in the valve cover to leak into the intake.
The OTHER hose on the valve cover is there to supply fresh air to the valve cover in newer engines. (ones that don't yet have blowby) If an engine has too much blowby for the pcv to handle The second hose can be attached to a vac source and between the TWO hoses the blowby should be taken care of.

I havn't bothered with a pcv...I just connect it to vac and go on about my business.. The pcv is only there to prevent a possible fire...Which wouldn't have occured in any of the engines built to date..

SO? It will take the internal pressure out of your engine.
That pressure will cause seal leaks if it hasn't already. And that small amount of oil will go unnoticed in the engine..

Think about it this way. Atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.7 psia, so anything that has a higher pressure than 14.7 psia will be a ôpositiveö pressure, or will ôblowö. Anything less than 14.7 psia will be a ônegativeö pressure, or a vacuum, and will ôsuckö. The other thing to think about too, is when you fill up your tires, you are looking at a gage pressure and not an absolute pressure. Hopefully this helps.

Something sounds wrong there, a good motor shouldn't have ANY oil in the air filter box.
