i have an oil leak problem, oil comes out of the breather hole when i get on it, yesterday i bought a K&N screw in breather, and it is tightly screwed in, but oil still seems to come out of the breather, like the filter part of it. also now the car smokes from the exhaust, it's gotta blue tint to the smoke, does this mean she is burning oil? and if she is, what do u guys think the problem is? i'm about to buy stock valve covers for it so i don't have this problem anymore. and will stock valve covers clear my 1.6 rockers? thanks

A blue tint does mean that your burning oil. Why you may have a bad compression ring of oil ring and its allowing oil to seep through not sure. As far as oilcoming through the oil breather thats weird I have no idea on that. you may have to modify the valve covers a little to clear. good luck.
