Out of the line on the oil filler neck...?



It only happens when I really get on it. This is the second time its happened.



It happend once about a week or two ago, and then I was real easy on the car while I was looking for problems. Everything seemed ok, but I guess its obviosly not...It happened again tonight.



I get on it, I let off, I smell oil. Pop the hood to see the underside of my hood has been shot with oil and pretty much eveything else on the drivers side is covered. Im almost 100% sure its coming from that hose because of the marks on my hood.





Anyways, whats this mean? I have a bad feeling its something to do with bad seals and combustion chamber pressure getting into the crankcase or something...





Mods are in the sig.

whats the reading on your oil pressure gauge?



when i get on it mine is around 65-70psi and it idles at about 25 psi, perhaps you have overly high pressure in the system?

It stays at 70~75. Hard to be super exact with that autometer gauge.

No. First thing I checked both times. Second was my idle oil pressure...and thats still the same as its always been.

Could a bad oil pressure regulator cause it to happen too?

Well if my engine oil seals were bad, wouldnt I be smoking from the exhaust too?

And going through a lot of oil?
