I've got an annoying problem... Oil is coming out the dipstick tube,
running down the side of the block and dripping onto my headers - It's
making a stink and a nice blue cloud!
Anybody got any ideas? I've removed the fuel pump - I've got a hose going
from the crankcase to the air cleaner (tee'd into the hose that goes from
the valve cover to the air cleaner) so I don't think it's excess pressure in
the crankcase but then again.. It probably has to be! Anybody got any
ideas - It's embarrassing to drive right now - I mean sheesh - huge billows
of blue smoke out the back end.. Not pretty. I've traced it to the dipstick
tube - without the dipstick in, the oil splashes out and with the dipstick
in - it's running down the side of the holder.
I did, finally, replace my exhaust from a Monza to a more standard setup
with a muffler on the back - Oh my - it's nice to be able to drive the car
and hear yourself think... :)
