It seems everytime i go hard in to my car it leaks a little bit. I've only had the dipstick pop out once and it seems the belt is slinging the oil mostly on the side of the block, a little on the top. Its a very small amount atm.

It usually happens after an oil change, 6.3 quarts go in, alot of oil is sprayed out until the dipstick hits 1/2 between min and max... then it doesnt do it nearly as much.

Anyone ever have this problem?

 

Do you have a catch can or oil breather.

 

yea sounds like crankcase pressure is way to high.

 

no, i dont

gah, what is the danger of running it how it is?

 

To much crank case pressure will blow the dipstick out from time to time, motors don't like loosing oil they prefer to keep it

 

and if your really unlucky. you can blow the motor if there is to much pressure

 

grrr

how would the motor blow short of losing oil? pop a ring?

lol agreed.

which works best? the catch can or the breather?

 

Take a look in the engine bay thread look at area47's car and quadracers or pauls turbo balt for that matter. They all have a decent setup.

 

yeah, about that motor blowing, a seal would fail before the engine would, probably push crank seal out and **** oil out.

ty lsj,

wtf can i get that oil return system?

 

I believe those are all custom parts to order, shoot him a pm i think he could help ya. If not a catch can itself is v ery simple and you could make one for $20 with parts from home depot

 

lol i wasnt expecting adding more support mods and my head is being worked atm which is why im kinda in a bind atm. I have a friend who i can probably get his catch can from, he blew a hole in his cobalt's tranny casing doing a craptastic launch.

 

That sounds like a plan then, so get to it
