owners manual states 6qts. Can provide pictures if anyone doubts.

pcv is on the back of the valve cover. runs across the back and around the valve cover into the intake. I highly doubt thats clogged. If theres a clog, it's either in the manifold port or somewhere in the head.

take your supercharger off also, your gonna have oil in there. same thing happened to me, execpt my pistons were fried... tht crank case pressure built becuase of the bypass on our charger didnt let it out and went thru and out the dipstick weres it the weakest part, iam assuming your starts still?

i would say check the hose that goes from ur head to the intake and if thats good search for a way to test the valve ... that valve is what releases crank case pressure...im not exactly sure about the whole take off the supercharger thing i have an ss/tc but i would try the easy things first instead of taking that off lol just my 2 cents.

the supercharged has no no oil residue; I CHECKED IT OUT TWICE yesterday

Guess last thing to check is that thing behind the head.

it only pops the dip stick when under load, 7+ PSI

well when it happend to me, i took everything off, there was a puddle of oil sitting in the air intake, and charger had oil splattered. and there is going to be oil over the intake manifold gasket as well. you might as well go turbo get rid of tht charger..

NEXT!!!!!

read the O.P.

compression is fine
intake manifold gasket is fine

the supercharger is fine
the intake was fine

lessening the amount of oil, no go.

All thats left that I can think of is that PVC you guys are talking about. and puting a breather on it.

did u try blowing thru it like a straw or you could start the engine keep the side thats connected to the valve cover on and remove the one thats connected to the intake n feel for a vacuum....and on the side of the valve cover if you remove that while its running you should hear a little hissing sound

k just did a test, intake side is good. air is being sucked in, no clog so far.

gonna measure the diameter really quick and go buy a filter for it.

be back in a hour or so guys.

hmm then it cant be that...ive been doin some searching and it seems alot of ppl have had this problem and they are saying something about them coming stock with a certain o ring missing or something in the intake manifold gasket...ide say if your still under warentee take it in and have them check that out...ive seen someone saying theres a sticky for it but i couldnt find it
