Still spraying oil everywhere!!

[nfernotalon]

Heres my problem, i overfilled my car with oil a few days ago and now its to the normal level and i kept spraying oil everywhere from the oil cap as far as i could see, drained some out and thought it would stop but it has not i just took it on the highway and it sprays so much oil its leaking down to the exhaust, do i have a leak somewhere else behind the motor?? My valve cover is not leaking from the back and i bought a new oil cap two days ago and changed out my pcv valve a few months ago.. IF someone could help me out, maybe something i missed...?

do you still see traces of it from the around the cap?

Yes all the oil is around the cap, and my wires are flooded in .

Did you check the spark plug gallies(sp)
Is your dipstick all the way in?

The o ring rubber piece for the four spark plug holes? Yes changed them with my valve cover gasket few months ago, the oil is spraying from the oil cap.

If your wire galleys are full its the gasket in there. Mine leaked like that when I got it.

My dipstick doesnt pop out.

No my galleys are clean no oil in there, its on the top part in the of the valve cover, coming from the cap, but so much comes out, theres a bunch of oil but not enough to go in the galleys.

Why would my engine be spraying so much oil from the cap?? Especially with a new cap.

Try sealing the oil cap again. Theres no where else on the top of the motor that would leak except the cap. Is the oil on just the VC and thats it?

Yes mostly on top, all over the VC and drips to the back of the motor, i turned the cap til it stopped.

Clean the motor and run it just long enough for it to start leaking and find ALL teh leaks. Over filling the motor can cause way too much ressure in teh case and startblowing seals and gaskets quick. It would have been best to drain it when you realized it was over filled. Hopefully you didn't blow a gasket that's hard to change

Have you checked your valve cover for cracks?They are usually easiest to spot with it off looking at the bottom of it. I had something like this happen to me.It was cracked rite where the filler neck meets the flat part of the valve cover.I could not figure out where all the oil was coming from.
Sure enoug it was crack, replaced the valve cover and no more oil.

if you say the oil is leaking from the cap. Check the cap again. next check around the vavle cover where the valve cover gasket lies. pay close attention to the timing belt side because thats where oil leaked on mines. i just replaced the valve cover gasket. but from the looks of it, you repatedly said it cae from the cap. im assuming the cap might be defective still.

also, check the oil drain plugg. then check the oil return line gasket. as your trying to figure out where the leak is, keep a close eye on the oil level.

The leaks on top.

Regardless, I would pull the VC and check for cracks thoroughly. Oil dripping onto a hot downpipe/block prrrroooobbbbably isnt safe man.
