Smokey Engine
Well, as many cars are, mine is quite smokey. While looking around, i realized its coming from the oil dipstick tube, and the breather next to it. Im under the impression that if it were a head gasket it would be out the exhaust, but theres no smoke from there. Any thoughts? Ive read it could be the rings, but the engine seems to run strong with no issues other than being smokey. I plan on swapping to a 350 hopefully later this year, I would just like to not inhale tons of exhaust smelling fumes if I have that option.

Re: Smokey Engine
It appears to be, there is no smoke from the driver side with the pcv valve, just out of the breather and dipstick. could the valve possibly be closed and the pressure is forcing it out of those spots?
