hey i got a problem with oil. it seems to be leaking everywhere. like theres oil stains outisde of the block itself and oil seems to back up into the air filter constantly. Theres probably more places i just havent found. but if anyones got an idea of what the problem might be, a piston ring, valve i dunno. id appreciate the help

You might want to check your pcv system,if its not working the pressure from inside the motor will blow oil everywhere. You might want to see if its even got a pcv valve,if someone installed aftermarket chrome valve covers they might have done away with the pcv valve.

Pressure wash the hell out of it then drive it hard for a few miles. Check every few miles to look/see where the oil starts coming from. Look at the front of the intake manifold where it joins to the block, look where the lower edged of the block meets the oil-pan. There are two bolt holes on either side of the block in that locationwhere oil can start to leak.
One more thing, does your intake have the factory oil fill tube at the front of the engine?
It may have oil vapor leaking there when the pressure in the crankcase increases.Need to have a pcv valve installed in one of the valve covers.


There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.
