I put in a closed filter for the crankcase veneltator and it got cloged... if ur gonna put a filter on GET AN OPEN ARI FILTER!!! anyway so I was driving and i revv it up and let go of the gas and it dies :( i look under hood see the things full of oil forgot to relace it in a long time... so i replace it with an open air filter but now theres a HUGE oil leak on the timing belt side, im thinking that the crank has too much boost in it and had no where to go so it blew the crank seal cause when i drive the car now and hit the gas the boost goes up and I dont go anywhere... any ideas are greatly appriciated!
 
Uhh.. Pull the lower timing belt covers, and find out where exactly the oil is coming from.? We don't have the car, we can't do it for you.

Then replace whatever seal it is that is blown, or come back here with more info on what the problem is.\


[edit]
Just re read your post... No oil leak anywhere apparently... Do a boost leak test, to find out where you have the leak coming from.
