I was installing my motordyne spacer today and when i open up my plenum, I found oil stains everywhere. At least I think it is. I am thinking it came from a crack in the intake by the Oil dip stick. I found residue in that area.

WHat should I be doing. I think ive been running like this for a while. Is this serious? I am wiping it down as much as i can but I have a feeling the lifters could be jammed?

Whats the next step? Thanks guys. Pictures attached.

 

How many miles on your car?

This seems to be normal thanks to the passenger side pcv, lots of people buy a catch can so this does not happen. If your going to clean it up also unbolt that brass item in the center lots of oil pools under there.

 

Just spent an hour of cleaning.

the car has 85k miles

on top of this: I have a new problem.....


I over-torqued one of the bolts for the lower plenum....... what do i do now?

 

omgoodness

 

Wow that's a lot of oil!

 

Same roblem here. Been thinking about a catch can.

 

damn what a ****ty 6 hour grind... well my dad help me get the broken bit out. Now i got to find a replacement. I snapped everything back for now and plan on getting to it tomorow.

 

Yea definately get a catch can, they work great.

 

might get one tomorrow.

 

did you take the brass runner off as well? A lot of oil pools in there too

 

why is everyoes catch cans so expensive? where can I get a normal one?

 

they are around 80 bucks

 

Yup. Damn and it took me 2 cans of Throttle Body cleaner. And used 2 toothbrushes

 

might as well.

 

Took me about 30 minutes, including under the gold runners. just took a rag and some carb spray.
