went to put my new k & n intake on tonight and to my delight i found oil dripping from my intake. now im not a motor buff but i know this cant be good!!!! first the horrible gas mileage then mayo on the dipstick now this. i love my car but this is getting to be a pain in the ***!!! i baby my car i warm it up let it cool down rarely ever take it over 7000 rpms and this is what i get -- i guesss i should be beating the **** out of it. anyway calling the dealer tomorrow morning. they better not give me any **** about this like saying about the mayo its perfectly normal!!!!

how are oil and water mixing, i noticed some white stuff in my fill but none while i drained the old oil. i also noticed condensation type water bubbles on the bottom of my fill cap. how do i stop the water, get rid of whats in there, or should i look at selling the bitch before it blows?

took my car to the dealer today and they told my its normal for oil to come back through the intake cause they built these motors with out a pcv valve. if you noticed on our motor where you add oil there is a line from the flii to the intake that is where the oil is coming from and they said there is no harm.. i am still worried about this issue and plan on taking it up with mazda's techs when i can.
