Hey, recently picked this car up for $150, so im sure i got way i paid for, here is the car and problem...
90 Plymoth Laser
1.8L
Fwd
Auto
Summary: PCV line (valve cover breather that runs to the intake) is pushing out extreme amounts of oil, in the 1quart= 3-4 miles range
Full story:
I was told the car needs a head gasket. Well this would be the first motor ive seen that was pushing oil out of the valve cover vent in this manner. I would think it was blow by, causing increased pressure in the crank case, and not the head gasket. On the same token, the dip stick has not "poped" out of place or anything like that. THe motor runs as good as it can with a factory 86hp. But this is a severe leak that i dont know the cause of, any help would be appreciated.
