I'm getting some oil on top of the engine - not much, but a small coating that seems to be sprayed in some places, maybe a teaspoon in 1000 miles - and my first thought was pressurized crank case spitting oil out the dipstick tube. I get no white puff when I start up so I'm pretty sure the rings are good, but when I pull the dibstick and put my finger there I can definately feel air moving. there's no pressure if I put my finger over the end of the tube, but the fact that there's something there bugs me a little.
Is this just +/- pressure coming off the back of #2 cyl? Is this normal? Any other ideas about where that oil could be coming from? |
