Re: [T3] Oil problem.....HELP


<x-charset iso-8859-1>If its coming out the back of the crank and getting slug around by the fan
then its eather a plugged breather or a hole in a piston.  Make sure you
have the correct breather for your setup.  I had this problem and it was
that I had an FI breather that required vacuum instead of an earlier one
without the PCV valve.. removed the valve innards and WALLA!  no more
passing oil!
