Everytime i drive my car, there is always a little pool of oil that collects behind a little hole by cylinder 3, the oil collects on top of the cooling tins in the back corner of the car. The hole is next to the nut that holds the intake on, its about .5inch diameter or smaller(didn't measure it just guessing) What can i do to stop this oil issue? I also noticed this same hole is on the opposite side of the engine but instead of being behind the intake it is in front of the intake by cylinder 2, no oil comes out of that hole. Maybe the oil isn't coming out of the holes but somewhere else. All i know is that oil collects by cylinder 3 on top of the cooling tins. thanks everybody!! help my car not spew oil, my dad hates oil spots when i pull into the driveway

You have two choices.
You can go get two brass 90 degree barbed fittings at the local hardware store (one side is barbed the other side is threaded) Drill two holes, one on the top of each air filter cover and then using the fitting, attach that fitting to the top of the intake and run a hose to each head breather (there is one on the other side at the front of the head) Second option is look up CBperformance.com and you can buy an aftermarket breather from them. The aftermarket breather system has one drawback...it allows oil mist to blow out into the engine bay and eventually you get everything covered...its a light mist. Rich |
