RMS leak from PCV?
so earlier i may have posted about having a leaky rear main seal. (maybe it was another forum, whatev)
well my leaky problem has suddenly stopped.
my conclusion was that it must have fixed itself... too bad thats not possible.
well my uncle suggested that possibly my pcv was bad and was allowing pressure to build up in the crank case and this was forcing oil out the back of the engine.
now, this is a solid theory, especially knowing that my engine has a lot of blow by (the previous owner didnt break in his new engine properly or put the wrong rings on it or something)
does this seem like a solid theory to you guys?
i let the car run in place for over 3 minutes and didnt get a single drop from the motor.
used to be it leaked like crazy.
