well, i was looking at my engine the other day and i noticed that i have a faint leak coming from my oil cap-so i figured maybe it'll go away; yesterday i got my oil changed, and its still is! what do you guys suggest, that i get a new oil cap perhaps?!?!?
any ideas????
thanks

 

Check and make sure that there is no dirt or anything on the cap o-ring and on the valve cover if they are both clean then get a new cap if not clean them and see if it goes away:lala:

 

thanks, i'll try that tomorrow morning!

 

also with the engine running pull out the PCV and make sure you dont have exces presure in your crank case forceing oil out

 

I second the PCV being clogged. I had the same prob and $2 later it was fixed.

 

the pcv is that plug thats on the block the cap is on right?
thanks in advance!

 

I had the same problem years ago...I replace the oil cap and problem fixed. But I agree with the PVC possible being plugged. Considering they are only about $5 a piece, you might just want to go and replace that anyway.

 

the pcv on my car. you can see the oil coming out around it

 

Yeah, that's happen to mine as well, I guess over time it does. A nice brand new set of aluminum or chrome valve covers with solve that!

 

thanks but there a lot more need than that to fix it. but it looks 1000% better now

 

thanks trigger for that pic.-thats what i thought it was
by the way, nice looking car ya got there

 

I think thats what problem I have. I belive its blow by. when I take the oil filler cap off or pull the PCV valve smoke pours out. I have a slight oil leak from the breather on the other side. Is this blow by or is there somthing I can do to stop whats causing this?

 

sounds like blow by to me. thats what i had. turns out after taking the engine apart i had 3 craked pistons and a bunch of bad rings. do a comretion check and a leak down test to find out what your problem is.
