oil leak pissin me off

**Sapper** · 08-20-2013, 03:25 PM

Got it up on the lift today during lunch. Looks like pass. side v/c is showing some leakage and apparently the very corner of the d/s intake in the rear is barely seeping. Then the front crank seal is beginning to leak. New seal, new hub...go figure.

There's also oil on both motor mounts. Still trying to figure that one out.

So, looks like I have some work ahead of me to keep from dripping oil on James' floor.

I'm hoping this is now figured out. I talked to the shop that did my machine work and after he explained to me that all my rings are filed for a pretty big nitrous shot (max of 250), and that the engine stops pulling vacuum above 5500, I need to remove the tube from v/c going to TB and just let it free vent. Preferrably in at least 2 places.

I just got off the phone with another guy who runs big nitrous motors and he said it's typical when the rings are like that than alot of blowby will cause very high case pressures and the pressure & oil will find any and every place to leak from. So, tonight I'll figure out some type of breather / evac system and try it.
