Hey Guys,
I have oil coming out of both valve cover holes. Passenger valve cover has a pvc valve -hose to a catch can. oil is coming from the grommet area of the PVC. The catch can has hot water in it. The driver side has a oil cap on it. Oil is pressurizing out around the cap. Oil is spraying all over the back of the engine bay coming out of both holes. Oil pan had condensation all over it after shake down drive. My first set up was breather filters in both valve cover holes. Oil comes out in idle Ran car hard up and down a private airplane runway. Car felt strong and just installed new C5 brakes and t56. Please help me |

How hard are you running it? On track my PVC would pop out of the valve cover from crank case pressure. As a quick fix I wired it in place but oil would still leak out around it since the stock gromment was old and no longer fit tight. I've since welded in AN-8 bungs in both valve covers and plumbed them into a breather tank.
Oil comes out in idle I don't know what to think since you don't have it plummed into the intake for vacuum. With my catch can set-up there has a been 1 or 2 times were I come to a stop and smoke is pouring from under the hood. My first thoughts were overheating, but I popped the hood and found smoke coming from the breather. Other than those comple times I haven't noticed much smoke at all. I have maybe 1-200 miles on it like this but I haven't drained the take yet to see what's in it. |
