Hey guys. The last drive I took my car on a week or so ago, I noticed a leak in my engine bay which seems to be pretty substantial. Its on the drivers side in the front bank right around the spool valve area. I went ahead and ordered new spool valve gaskets and will install them and I hope that is what it is, its a really good amount of oil that has covered a lot in there so its somewhat hard to tell if that is where it is coming from, but replacing the almost 22 year old gaskets can't hurt.
Another thing that I noticed for the first time on the same day is smoke out of my exhaust everytime I let off after hard acceleration. Seems to be oil burning.
Any possible relation to the spool valve gaskets? I have a BBSC and am running a catch can to the rear bank. Front bank is stock PCV setup. I am also wondering if my PCV is just bad. I have heard this can cause smoking. I pulled it out and shook it and did hear some faint rattling, which I understand is good.
I guess it also can't hurt to change out. Any other ideas? Maybe I'm just ignoring the fact it could be my engine? :frown: Or could it be from my Paxton itself? I've notice a little oil in the intake before from it, but that seems to be normal on them from what I've read.
I've had the BBSC on the car for two summers now and 6K miles.....haven't had any issues like this before.
Here is video of it where you can see it smoking.......
