cryptnix Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 Hopefully this isn't a serious matter. I can have it on cold or hot. I get a faint smell of oil coming out of it. Its scaring me alittle. Quote
sl3196 Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 Did you spill it anywhere? Engine? Carpet? Quote

Guest TurboSedan Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 is your PCV valve connected? is the PCV hose ok? i had a catch can on my PCV valve for awhile, and i could smell oil coming from the vents whenever i had the windows open. Quote
cryptnix Posted July 8, 2004 Author Report Posted July 8, 2004 i only smell it really with my windows closed ... i've replaced a bung load of shit general tune up ... and a few other things like maf, map, and a few other sensors ... i think my engine is just so damn dirty that it needs some attention ... honestly i posted a thread about washing my motor figuring it could help other people cause i've done it once and ... good god ... it sparked at me! lol still runs which is a good thing Quote
DOHCRagtopguy Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 Check the 'T' where the breather lines come together behind the rear head. Mine cracked the one time and I had the damn oil smell until I tracked it down. The PCV line goes to it along with the valve cover breather lines and then it plugs into the intake rubber inlet. This pertains to the LQ-1 motor, 92 model. Quote
cryptnix Posted July 8, 2004 Author Report Posted July 8, 2004 well i'll have to check that then... someone explain to me exactly what I can do to help this issue with the pcv valve shit popping out Quote
cryptnix Posted July 8, 2004 Author Report Posted July 8, 2004 well i checked it and it wasn't that ... Well where else can my problem be? Its annoying as hell ... i'm about to get my windows tinted and... i can't roll my windows down for a few days if i do that Quote
cryptnix Posted July 9, 2004 Author Report Posted July 9, 2004 turns out it is the o-ring on my oil pump ... ohhhh boy pay attention to the turbo thread... just posted the details there ... Quote
