Clean it good, drive it for a little while, find the leak.

Make sure your catch can stuff is all clear and free. If it clogs up, you'll start pushing oil out the seals.
Given how new all that catch can stuff is, I'd really check things over.

Good luck bud.

get a light and look for the highest point the oil is leaking from. Oil will flow down and not up so look for were it starts that way.

Is it under the car? on the back of the motor? front? one side or the other?

Start with the front and back intake area. Then look at the valve covers. Work your way down to the timing cover. Then go around the main seals on the front (if its on the back it will be coming from up under were the trans mounts to the motor...its kinda up hill there so its will stick out. Lastly the pan gasket and drain plugs (a bad drain plug gasket will leak like a mother).

check the TQ on the oil pan bolts. i bet its either leaking on the VC gaskets or they used a 4 piece oil pan gasket and its leaking where the pieces come together

If almost the whole bottom of the car is oil covered .... then it is definitely the canooder valve. Those can cause a HUGE mess. Remove it and check the seal for any damage.

lol...canooter valve right next to the canhooter valve that when its full you feel like a boob. Be glad its not the canhooter valve that seal when its broken is a pricey MoFo that then tends to go out every month...

Uhh .... yeah. Take off the oil cap (a.k.a. 710 cap) and look down in the oil spout into the valve cover. You will see the canooder valve very easily.




















EDIT: I can't take it anymore. Just messin' with ya' man. Besides, I don't want to be responsible for what happens when you don't see it. It's hard telling what you might do, lol. I have used that one in person with a kid in HS. Funniest thing ever!

A few years ago me and a friend were with riding in another friends car. We had already planned this out. I was riding shotgun and said "Man whats that noise" Then my buddy said that we should pull over. So we did, me and him checked it, started pointing at random **** and making gross faces. Then I told him, "Well I got some good news and some bad news. Its not gonna run much longer, but we can make it to autozone. You need to change your double sippie cups. They are like 2 dollars. So lets go and ill change them in the parking lot." He got out of the car and I told him Id take the old ones off while he went get the new ones. As soon as he went in I closed the hood and went sit down. He got in the car and said "**** you guys" then we all started laughing and went home.

I cant beleive he told them he needed new double sippie cups.

If you get VC gaskets and Ford style gaskets fit for you, I'd get the rubber over metal versions. Very nice pieces.

I didnt literally mean the catch can filling up or clogging. I meant to ensure there are no kinks in the rubber lines to and from them. Any kink can create a lot of issues.

Good luck.
