the past couple times I've driven the formula I noticed some smoke coming from under the hood. So yesterday I took a look and this is what I found.
lots f oil all over the rear passenger side of the engine bay, and it getting on the headers causing the smoke. I can't see where it's coming. I was gonna clean the car up this weekend, now I just wanna blow it up.

coming out the dipstick?
that was one thought, but the top of the dip stick seems to be bone dry. Im gonna try and clean it up a little tonight.
I know after my blower install I was spewing oil from the dipstick, but I just needed a breather in the valve cover.
Looks like you'll have to clean it a bit to track it down.
Good luck!

Maybe there's a small crack in the dipstick tube itself.
did it do it even if not driven in boost?
I have a breather for the passenger side valve maybe I should install it. I did find the stock breather had poped out a little. guess I'll go get a vacuum nipple and start working on it

never said the formula and I wasn't gonna make it. I've had the breather for a couple months now, and several bags of shop towels. the little bit of cleaning is done, breathers oiled and installed. just need to install the lovely smog equipment .

I should have it at my old house, I'll stop by tomarrow and see if I can find it. yeah bring the pulley unless you still need it.
I guess it was coming out of the dip stick. drove it kinda hard after the meet got home didn't see any fresh oil splaters.
