I wonder which one my culprit is?
For the last week or so, Ive noticed some blue smoke out the exhaust whenever the car goes above 3500rpms or so. During startup there is no bluish tint to it, during normal driving I can not see anything either, but whenever I mat it to downshift, I get a nice blue cloud behind me. There is a slight loss in oil, I put in around a quart every 1000 miles or so, but I credited that to the bad oil pan gasket leak I have.
For the hell of it, down time at work at the moment, I just went outside to see if there is any oil in the intake. After I took the tube off the TB there were a few droplets of oil outside the TB blade, on the side of the air filter, not the intake. The inside felt slightly oily, but no visible oil puddling.
My oil pressure has been fluxuating a bit, but I put a new oil pressure sending unit on, have a new oil pump, and oil pan gasket seal going on it next week to fix the leak I have. Not to mention the extra $800 in suspension I have going on as well. For what its worth, there is no pressure build up that I noticed from the engine. After driving it for 30 mins this am I pulled into work, cut it off, and took off the oil cap to see if there was a pressure build up. No hiss or nothing.
Oddly enough, this comes after a Cobra upper/lower intake swap. I never had any issues before the swap
Guess my next investment should be a rebuild? Any ideas on what could be the guilty party. Either one would/will require a rebuild, but Im just curious. Could the PCV be going bad? I took it out and shook it, it rattled, so I figured its still good.
