Is the PCV right there on the rats nest, next to the oil filler neck? If so, it is no longer on his car. LOL But it wasn't on my car, or ECKO1980's car, and we have never had any problems. With Sidewinder's car, it must have spit out a good quart of oil.

Ok, we have this nipple, in pic below (pic is of my car though), on his car vented to the open air, and the nipple on the oil filler neck is venting to the open air. But he is squirting oil out of those two nipples. How could the crankcase be getting pressurized if both of these nipples are venting to the open air? Also, everything has been hooked up lke this for the last 6 - 9 months, and it has just started to do this in the last week or two, and it only seems to do it when he is boosting. Oh, and his oil level is at full, not overfilled. Anyone got any ideas on how or why it is doing this. Thanks!

Take the oil filler cap off and go for another drive. If it doesn't blow all that oil out I'd say you have some serious blowby. Right now I just have a hose running from that nipple to the bottom of the car and I get some oil out but not a quart like you guys are saying.

Ok. I can now solve your problem. I have that same nipple on my 90 TII. That nipple was originally connected to a vacuum line that ran through the rats nest and ended at the check valve on the stock TID. You can either attatch a catch can to it or just run a vacuum line to a check valve and run another line from it to the TID. This should sovle your problem. Let me know how it goes.

BTW it's normal for it to let oil out if it's vented to the atmosphere.

Trust me, there is nothing normal about the amount of oil comming out of the 2 nipples. The first time it happened, I would say that his car spit out about a quart of oil. It was all over the engine bay. I have the oil stain on my drivway to prove it.



So does anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be? Please help!
