I started noticing a burning smell from the engine compartment and when I checke dit out oil was seeping out of both valve cover breathers and down onto the headers. What would cause oil to be forced out of these. 92 302 notchback with a A-trim vortech 130k miles.
dont you get rid of the pvc valve and thats why you have to use breathers to vent the crank shaft. because the air being forced in is just goiing to to right through the pcv valve and right into the crankcase.....someone who has a blower should be able to answer this question pretty easily
Yeah too much pressure is about the only way you can have oil spilling out of the breathers. If you are using the breathers as a means of deleting the PCV system then you didn't do something right to counter the provisions. Under what circumstances did this occur? Also, if you still have the PCV system in tact, take a look at it and try to get it functiong again. If you put your finger over the PCV valve and you feel suction, then it is working and doing it's job, if not then replace it.
